I am trying to confirm that John Stevenson--Christian Duncan's son John Stevenson married Jane Berry on 15 May 1819 in St. Ninian's, Stirlingshire.
John Stevenson was christened 18 January 1794 in Bannockburn, St. Ninian's Stirlingshire.
Jane Berry was born 17 April 1801 in St. Ninian's, Stirlingshire.
The marriage of these 2 individuals is listed as a "strong possible" in the "LDS Family Search" on-line. All of the above names are included in that record, but I need to be sure before I add it to my ancestors' line.

Have you checked the OPR's on Scotlands People? A quick search confirms a John Stevenson marriage on that date in Stirling but does not show a Jane Berry on the same date
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
EDIT
I have just re-entered the search for Jane as Jane B*rry and under surname options - chose wildcards allowed
It comes up with one match to that date and to Stirling so I wonder if she is mis-transcribed as Barry or Burry

Thank you CarolW for searching.
I did check the OPR on Scotland's People and did not come up with a match at all. I also checked her as Barry and as Janet. On other records she is always Jane Berry though.

It may be worthwhile having a look at the John Stevenson entry. There was only one match for that precise date and county and it seems odd that searching on Jane B*rry for exactly the same date and county also brings up one match

Hi, Carole W
I checked the OPR on Scotland's People for John Stevenson and got the record of their marriage on 15 May 1819; but it just shows their names, no mention of parents names.

Scottish marriage entries pre-1855 give very little info.
