Julie Because your address is AOL I can't tell whether you are in the UK or elsewhere. If you have had no answers to your request the problem is probably a) because access to the GRO is not easy, even for those who live in Edinburgh. Places are limited and cost £17 per day, so people tend to concentrate on their own research. Also b) I am pretty sure Berwick on Tweed (not to be confused with North Berwick of course ) was in England at the time. My 1874 almanac lists 3 church of Scotland ministers for Berwick, but they are listed under the North of England. A copy of the English marriage certificate will only give you the names of the fathers. Your best bet (and cheaper) would be to find where the Catholic chapel records are kept and get a photocopy of the entry.
