    2. Douglas J Clark
    3. Hello All I recently has a request for further clarification regarding a posting made in 2007 regarding obvious Scottish marriages in the early days of Durban, South Africa. The records are all from the marriage register of the Addington Presbyterian Church situated at the "Point" area. All the husbands have local addresses because the heading reads "current residence". The women are treated differently. No 1 12/11/1884 Alexander MARSON 29 (signature ?
