Hi Isabel, You say on her "marriage details" but you don't state what those "marriage details" are. Scottish OPR records very rarely state the name of the father of either party so it would be unusual to see an 1845 marriage OPR record stating the father. Have you therefore got some other "marriage details" source other than the OPR? As to the death record as Ray says the informant is extremely important as you then have to judge how likely it is that the informant actually knew who the dead persons father was. The key to your issue of finding out what the correct father's name is, is to evaluate how reliable the sources of information you have are. If the marriage is indeed from an OPR and it mentions the father then you can be sure that was Isabella herself being asked what's your fathers name and her giving the name. The death entry on the other hand could be someone who didn't know Isabella that well and made a guess at her fathers name.
