Hello Cheryle There are 6 marriages listed in Kilbarchan between 1840 and 1855 on the OPR Banns & Marriages index on Scotlands People. (I would have expected the 1855 records to appear under the civil registration index) They are: Agnes Blackwood and William Meickle 1842 Ann Blackwood and Murdoch McConnell 1855 (there is also a civil registration entry for this marriage i.e marriages from 1855 onwards) James Blackwood and Grace Cameron 1849 John Blackwood and Mary Ann Climie 1841 Margaret Blackwood and John Young 1855 Michael Dick Blackwood and Jane Wylie 1852 (Jane/Jean Wylie was my GG Aunt) There are 2 marriages in the Lochwinnoch parish register for this period. They were: Andrew Blackwood and Mary Orr 1846 Margaret Blackwood and Robert McLeish 1849 You may view the images of the entries in the Parish Register on Scotlands People which is a pay site, and may order extracts through the site.
