I'm currently researching part of my family tree and have came to a stumbling block, my great grandparents were Thomas Thow and Jessie MacLuish (McCuish) who married in 1927 in Inverness. My problem is that the trail from here seems to have gone cold, from Jessie's marriage certificate her parents were Malcolm Macluish and Mary MacBean who was deceased at the time of the marriage. My problem is that I can't seem to find any trace of the either Malcolm or Mary getting married or Jessie's birth which makes me think they name may have been logged incorrectly. If anyone could help with this side of my great I would be extremely grateful.

1896 MACCUISH Malcolm & MCBAIN Mary Ann - North Uist, Inverness

I'm wondering if the book by Bill Lawson - Crofting in North Uist might give you some information on these families:
