Have you tried Scottish records? Lots of Mortons there.

Are you looking for Mortons as some of mine were called that yet they were Murtons ;;

You could try Pallot's Marriage Index (on Ancestry). It doesn't cover all areas, though.

Have you searched the actual parish records or have you been looking on line? Were they both born in the same parish? Marriages usually took place in the wife's parish.

What other records can I try pre1837. My ggggrandfather was born c. 1776. His wife was born 1776. I can find nothing in parish records relating to baptisms, marriages or burials. I have also tried the IGI. Don't know where else to look. Please can someone help before I go insane.
