Greeting from Ottawa William, I was not aware that your Margaret Grant was a memberof the family that resided at Belnoe. This farm is located within the Roman Catholic community in the Braes of Glenlivet and the marriage details you are searching for are probably entered in the Chapeltown R.C. Records. Copies of the records are held in the Local Heritage Library in Elgin but may not be available meantime as a result of the fire in 2003 at Grant Lodge.
