Banns for a marriage were usually called in the parishes of both the Bride and the Groom so that everyone who knew the families was informed. And this made it harder for people to commit bigamy. So if the Bride came from Glasgow and the groom from Old Kilpatrick the banns would be called in both parishes, but of course the wedding would take place in only one. (Glasgow where the Bride lived). This can be handy for the researcher - records exist in two places and sometimes there are clues to be gleaned by checking them both out in the Old Parish Registers. catherine
