James BROWN was born in 1768 in Penpont. He died in 1840 in Kirkconnel Sarah Hamilton was born in 1772 in New Cumnock. She died in 1855 in Kirconnel where she appears in 1841 and 1851, with her son and daughter, in the census. Can anyone tell me where and when they were married please? Margaret Switzerland

Margaret >From dates you have given for James and Sarah, you might be looking in the period 1790-1800 - if this was their first marriage. So with the two children still being at home in 1841, MIGHT SUGGEST they were the younger end of the family. Does the Census provide an age for them? If you look up the Old Parish Records, their marriage might be found.

If Sarah Hamilton died in 1855 then her death certificate should list her children and their ages..so the likely time for a marriage would be before and around the birth of the first child. Although a marriage post children is possible it's not common. All surviving parish records are online at Scotlandspeople...have you looked there?
