Hello all, In my quest for knowledge, I have today received an extract (number 320) from the Old Parochial Register for the Parish of Edinburgh, County of Edinburgh extracted from a Register of Proclamation of Banns and Marriages dated 13 November 1809. Names mentioned are the following: RUSSELL, CLARK, MACARTHUR, THOMSON, MACLEOD, STEPHENSON, NISBET, ARTHURSON, REID, MILLER, FALCONER, JAMESON, BRUCE, GILLES, BEGBIE, HUTTON, HERCULES, HOGGART, ROBERTSON, HENDERSON, MACKINNON. Hopefully someone will find the information below of use. However note that as is to be expected some of the information is unreadable, with those that I am not sure of in "exclamation marks". 10th November 1809 John RUSSELL. brush maker, High Church Parish, and Elizabeth Clark, St Cuthberts Parish daughter of the late John Clark, residenter, South Leith. 11th November 1809 William McARTHUR, Soldier Aberdeen Militia, Edinburgh Castle, and Elizabeth Thomson, Tolbooth Church Parish, daughter of John Thomson, Innkeeper, Parish of "Galinton??" 13th November 1809 John Norman MaCLEOD, Esq of MacLeod, St Andrews Church Parish, and Miss Ann Stephenson, same parish, daughter of John Stephenson, esq, banker, London.
