Hi Edie, you will find that they had to have their banns read in their home parish & you may find the earlier date is when they proclaimed to marry or the banns were 1st read the second date could be the actual marriage date. The Vicars were not required to write in the Parish records the exact date of marriage, so some dates are the proclamation date only & when the banns were called.

Sorry, no DUNBARs in my research area. Actually most of my UK research is in Durham and Northumberland with a small twig on my family tree in Scotland. So far, that is!

Speaking of the Begbies, I've got a Marion Begbie who married Alexander Stobie. (unfortunately, dates unknown) They had a daughter Agnes (born 1779), who married John Lindsay. I'm mostly interested in the Lindsays, but would love to get in contact with anyone who has any connections to any of these families. Lorraine

John, Thanks for your prompt response. I have been trying to make a connection from my father, George Moodie, to the George who was the first captain of the Cutty Sark. This helps me to know that I am on the right track. Would there be anything in your museum that might be helpful to me? edie

Interesting link to this service, " The National Archives of Scotland. I was able to find some useful info. Worth a visit for us 'out of towners' http://www.nas.gov.uk/?GXHC_GX_jst=8258c07950ea6164 'Click here for the NAS Catalogue'

Hi Marg, My ancestor David Clapperton married Christian Sked(marriage not reg) and they had the following children in Innerwick, Katherine 1780, Christian 1783and George 1785 I haven't managed to fit them in the tree yet (I'm doing a one name study on my Clapperton ancestors) but I hope I will eventually.Katherine appears to have married James Black in 1801.I think David was born 1744 to James Clapperton and Katherine Speers and he may have married a second wife Jean Graeme and they had David 1800,Isabel 1802,Jean 1805,Christian 1807 and James 1814. Sue marg <mol@nelsonbay.com> wrote: Hi all, I have just rejoined the list. This is to let you know I have extended my research on the SKED, SKEAD etc families and am tying them to all the towns around Dunbar and into Edinburgh back to late 1600s. Many were blacksmith early on, becoming engineers and more complex related occupations later on. Around Edinburgh many were in the printing trade or fishing folk on the coast. I would love to hear from anyone with suggestions of how to discover more and anyone with connections. To date I have used 1881 census. Britsh Vitals Family search.
