Title: Marriage Lookup please
Post by: SAM100 on Friday 12 September 14 19:24 BST (UK)
Good Morning
A kind Rootschatter provided me the death information for

Donald Mackintosh died 29 May 1876 Aboyne, Aberdeen aged 49 years

Donald was born around 1827 in Kilmonivaigh, Invernesshire

His mother and father are listed as James Mackintosh, farmer and Christina Mackintosh nee Cameron

I am unable to find a marriage record for this couple on SP or FamilySearch

Any assistance would be appreciated :)

Hi Shirley  :)

As background here:

Hi Shirley

Donald died in Aboyne May 26 1876.
His parents were given asJames Mackintosh, farmer and Christina m.s. Cameron.
Son Walter was the informant.

PM me your e-mail address.

From 1841 when you pick up Donald, you haven't been able to connect him to family unfortunately  :-\ As you know, this period before the start of official registration in Scotland from 1855 is tricky...and very patchy in terms of records in the Old Parish Registers.

There may not be a marriage entry in the Registers to be found, for all sorts of reasons  :-\

But as always with this type of research, we stay ever hopeful  ;)

Hi Monica,
Thanks for the "glimmer of hope"
I am woefully ignorant of Scottish records so any pointers are appreciated :)

1861 Census for the Mackintosh household in Coire Creagach they had a visitor named

Christy Mackintosh, married, aged 48 years (birth around 1813), Farmers wife born Kilmonivaig, Invernesshire.
??James wife Christina  :-\
