> Resubmitting my two names. Robert MCLOUN, tailor b.abt 1771 and Annie > WALLACE b. abt 1775. Can anyone shed light on a marriage date for these > two please? IGI has confusing dates . Can't even find them at all on the IGI! Check the source information. If it says 'extracted', believe it. If it says 'submitted', don't trust it. If the entry appears in two different places, this could indicate that the couple lived in two different parishes. The banns would have to be called in both parishes, so there would be two records of the event. As the entry records the proclamation of banns, not the actual marriage, they may be written on two different dates, or one of the clerks may have added the actusl date of marriage. The golden rule with the IGI is: always look up the original document. HTH Anne
