Others have given you detailed instructions on how to find the entry in the LDS Archives. However, do remember that the content of pre-1855 entries was entirely up to the local Minister or Parish Clerk. A "normal" entry will say something like "Kermit MacMuppet of this parish and Piegi MacPork of the Parish of Bass gave their intention to marry" or even "were married the [date]". Note that te parish designations were from where they were living at the time, not where they were born. Also note that some Ministers added more info - I have one entry that gives both sets of parents, others that give the local set of parents. Many give the witnesses. On the other hand, I have 2 Whitsome entries where they didn't mention the name of the bride! Just "Kermit MacMuppet was married this day". You won't know until you see the entry. I had a look in the Pigot & Co Directory for Southern Scotland 1825 (available from Archive CD Books) and there's no James Hardie listed as a Manufacturer anywhere in Rox. There are a couple of others (eg Joseph is a baker, John is a landowner). Of course, if they married in 1811, he might have been a bit young in 1825 and not taken over/started his business until later. It might be worth checking the 1841 census for them. > I feel like I'm constantly butting my head against a brick wall in> trying to unravel the origins of my LIETCH family.
