Have you checked the free online wills index on the scotlandspeople website? Happy hunting, Gordon.

My latest genealogical index is now freely available online at: <http://www.kinhelp.co.uk/KinHelp/genealogical-indices/gene12> It is a genealogical index to the first volume of the Selkirk Burgh Court Book, covering 1503-1531, and is notable for some of the earliest examples of certain local surnames. The spellings are quite extraordinary at times, but if one remembers to treat then AS THEY SOUND, then you should have no bother. I have added some SEE and SEE ALSO references to help with certain instances. This is the twelfth such index to be placed online at <KinHelp.co.uk>. They cover many parts of Scotland. If you find a name of interest and have no access to the book, then I can provide copies of pages for a small fee. Regards, Gordon Johnson.

The query about what appears in a parish register entry for a marriage does not have a definitive answer. Most of the time all you get is the names of the two parties; in some parishes the register may state that one of the parties is from another parish, and often it is named. In a few instances you may get more, usually because one or both of the parties is from a higher social level, e.g. "John Smith of this parish and Jean Brown, daughter of Baillie George Brown, were matrimonially contracted (date) and having been regularly proclaimed were married (2nd date)." However, in many parishes even the daughter of the minister are not identified as such. Usually you can depend on a landowner's daughter to be noted as to her father, and sometimes her mother. Note also that the church register is a register of the proclamation of banns, which was a legal requirement, and often what you get is the date that banns were first proclaimed, and not the marriage date. Also, it is often unclear in the registers which parish the marriage was performed in, where the parties have their banns proclaimed in two parishes. One has to assume the bride's parish is more likely. There is no organised consistency about OPR registers apart from the form of words being used. This was one of the reasons for introducing civil registration in 1855. Happy hunting! Gordon Johnson.

Hi Kathleen Scotland's People do not list parents of the bride until compulsory registration 1855. (Think I am right there) To then marriages were recorded in the Parish records.(You will get same info on LDS site) If you know the Parish you can hire the films via your local FHC and it is usually listed like this Date John Smith of this parish wed Mary Brown also of this parish on .......... or Date John Smith not of this parish wed Mary Brown of this parish on......... or vise versa. I did send to Scotland many years ago for an 1835 wedding certificate and all I got was what was on the LDS site!! Cost me about 8 pounds too as it was before Scotlands People was online. Therefore don't waste your credits.

Records show he came to the U.S. as a young man. No other informationon his early life. The 1850 census shows him in Oconomowoc, Waukesha, Wisconsin. The same census shows him married to a Janet age 36 in 1850. It also shows that the first 4 kids Mary,Agnes,John and William were born in NY. This tends to put him in NY in 1838 or so.

Hi, Would the image of a marriage list the parents of the bride? this would be between 1800-1820. I don't want to use credits if the information is not recorded. Thanks. Kathleen

I am trying to make contact with my old Army colleague, Jim (James Angus) Forbes. He was with me in the Alamein Band RTR in the 60's and moved to the Brigade of Guards staff band. He is a Judo Black Belt, and is Scottish. He will be in his mid-70's. Much Thanks, John Roberts-James
