Just a gentle reminder that Scottish certificates give differing information to English certificates, Scottish certificates also list the mother's maiden names.

It should have the same info as a present day cert with ages of the couple, previous marital status, father's and their occupations with the couples addresses at the time and witnesses

Researching:
Anstee/Bucks; Russell/London; Durose; Pease/North Yorks; Kelly/IoM
