Hi Rosemary, >From the list archives, Diana Henry has posted the following from the Wigtown Free Press: From: DIANA HENRY To: SCT-WIGTOWNSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 4:08 PM Subject: BMD'S FROM WFP 6TH MARCH, 1851 <snip> This is a very poor copy, I will make what I can of it. *MARRIAGES* MOORE, Peter - M2/3/1851 - Here, on the 2d instant, by the Rev. ??????????, Mr Peter Moore, blacksmith, to Mary, ????????Mr Thomas M'Geoch, dealer. BARC???, JAMES - M(2(8)/2/1851) - At Cairniehill, Tongland, on the 2(8) ??? (by) the Rev. Mr Williamson, Mr James Barc???. <snip> This doesn't specify St Josephs, but Scotlandspeople has the following; *Catholic Banns & Marriages*: 02 Mar 1851 Stranraer, St Josephs MONE, Peter McGEOGH, Mary MONE was possibly a transcription error, taking an ‘r’ as an ‘n’. (The info showed normal use of case. The upper case here was mine, to highlight family names. I am assuming that the original was written normally.) There was a MOORE baptism on 09 Dec 1851, which seems a strong possibility for a child of this couple. There are 2 hits, so perhaps the child was born and baptised the same day. There are no death/burial records on Scotlandspeople for St Josephs. Regards, Bruce
