Have heard the Tiny URL link may not work for everyone, it did for me when I tried it in the post when it arrived. A Tiny URL takes you to a webpage where you clik the much longer link.

With it you can search just St Cuthberts Marriages and if your particular surnames or marriages are in it, let me know the names and date. It will be much easier for me to find.

Evening Meg, My interest is with Stewart. David Stewart born 1809, exact date not known who married Janet Torrance brn 1827 they married 25 October 1847. Married at St Cuthberts. As a couple they immigrated to NZ in 1852 as Fencibles. Would love to see who witnessed, who is named as parents, either dead or alive for David. 1809 to 1847 is unknown to me. Bar the fact that David served as a Soldier, I am looking for any siblings of David. I have a lot on the Torrance side.

When my husband's great grandfather, Alexander MacLennan, died in Edinburgh in 1940, the informant was his grandson. The address was as above, but the name was a signature which is illegible. Might be MacIntosh. Are there any directories available that might help us find the correct name? Regards, Virginia
