Can anyone point me to any sites where I could find out the date and year of the Marriage between a Mr. Peter Alison McLaren:-
Born:- 17th April 1906 in the Parish of Kilmarnock. Perth. Scotland, Died:- 1967 Dartford. Kent. England - and Miss. Ellen Alice May Wigmore
Born:- 3rd December 1913 in Registration District of Newbury, County of Berkshire
Died:- 6th December 2002 in Registration District of Canteburym County of Kent
Any pointers would be appreciated to finalise the last piece in the jigsaw - thanking you all

Hi Annamay,
If you suspect that the marriage was in Scotland between 1942/1949, you would either have to order the certificate from The General Register Office for Scotland, Office HERE (http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/) (which would probably cost in excess of £13, as a search would have to be conducted) or a cheaper option would be a transcription which could be done by the Scotfamtree website, who visit the records office approx 4 times per year. The transcription would only be a few £s. They specialise in all Scottish genealogy. (You'll have to register first)

Good luck! ;)
