Jackie In 1861 census I came across the same name "Ronaldsvoe", D3\Pg9 where some Petrie's where living. I have a James & Ann Petrie living there age 74 for James and 68 for Ann. This is wierd that we have same place, same first name but differetn last names.

Hi there!! I got yet another Scottish certificate in the mail today - this time it's the marriage certificate of my Great-Great-Grandparents, James DICKSON and Ann HOURSTON. I found it quite interesting as Ann was age 32, while her groom was only 25! James was living in St. Margaret's Hope at the time of their marriage.....Ann was living in Ronalds' - Voe (sp??) Has anyone else come across this place name (at least that's what I think it is....it's hard to read on the certificate copy)?? The best part for me is that this certificate lists their parents.... James DICKSON's parents were Joseph DICKSON & Jane CLOUSTON. Ann HOURSTON's parents were William HOURSTON & Ann NORQUAY. Do any of these surnames right any bells?? Jackie
