I have just received the marriage transcript for my GGGrandparents. This states..... 1872 on the 31st Day of December at 8 Murray St, Glasgow After Banns according to the forms of the Baptist Church Alexr Thompson, iron moulder, journeyman, bachelor, aged 22 8 Murray St, Glasgow F: James Thomson, farmer, dec M: Margaret M/S McLean Agnes Taylor, powerloom weaver, spinster, aged 23 3 Tobago St, Glasgow F: John Taylor, shoemaker, journeyman, dec M: Agnes M/S Smith Signed: John W Ashworth, Baptist Minister Witnesses: Hugh Thompson, Annie Malcolm ____________ Spellings of Thomson/Thompson as given on record I have found Alexanders address at the time of their marriage in the 1881 Census. There are a lot of people living at this address.... Can anyone tell me what kind of 'residence' this would be with 21 Dwellings being listed at the same address? I have not been able to find a birth record for either Alexander or Agnes on Scots Origins. I have only found Patron Submitted Records on the IGI.....(Alexander in Rothesay and Agnes in Muirkirk). Would this be because they were "baptists"? I have however been able to find the Parents of Margaret MCLEAN (Alexanders mother)in Rothesay, Buteshire. My GGrandfather was John McPherson THOMPSON and Margarets mother was nee McPHERSON. The other thing that confuses me is the occupation of Alexander...marriage states iron moulder, journeyman yet John Mcphersons Birth Certificate states he was a leather cutter.... is it likely that he changed his occupation once he arrived in Middlesex?? I would be grateful for any advise or ideas. Cheers Sue Thompson Bunbury, Western Australia
