I have a photocopy of a page (89) of the OPR for 1818 for Kilbarchan. On there is my g g grandfather and g g grandmother Robert JACKSON and Isabella CRAWFORD both in this Parish were booked for proclamation in order to marriage August 15th Is this the banns or is it the actual marriage as I am not sure of the terminology. Also if anyone has any links with this family I would be interested to make contact with them Thank you Liz
