I would be very interested in the illustration you speak of. Looking over the marriage certificates of my maternal and paternal ancestors, there is something of a mixture going on. The most recent I have is that of my Grand parents which states After Banns according to the Forms of the Church of Scotland, others I have refer to the "Established" Church of Scotland, another After Banns according to the Forms of the United Free Church of Scotland, and After Banns according to the Forms of the United Presbyterian Church and one After Banns according to the Free Church"....... nothing else. Others I have mention Wesleyan and Congregational, the latter of which I understand today is the United Reformed Church. I've wondered if they might not have been fully written up. It would certainly be useful if we could find some clarification on the matter.
