Sandra,
If you go to Scotlands People and put in the marrage details it comes up with one result.
It costs £6 for 30 credits. 1 credit to view the results and 5 to view the actual parish record.

These are the film numbers for Forglen held by LDS. If you have an LDS centre near you you can order the film and check for yourself. They charge about £3 per film but I have checked several that I picked up on their website at my local centre. It can take a few weeks for them to get the film but they are very helpful.

It could be 100% accurate but you have no way of knowing.

The source info quoted just refers to a catalogue number attributed to the record by the LDS, with so many records (both extracted and submitted) stored on film they have to have a catalogue system to locate each particular record.

Record submitted by a member of the LDS Church. The record often shows the name of the individual and his or her relationship to a descendant, shown as the heir, family representative, or relative. The original records are not indexed, and you may have to look at the film frame-by-frame to find the information you want. A family group record for this couple may be in the Family Group Record Collection; Archive Section. (See the Family History Library Catalog for the film number.) These records are alphabetical by name of the father or husband.

I have seen many times people on here saying dont trust everything you find on this site, but because it has this source info can I assume its correct.

Thanks for looking
Sandra
