Title: Border Marriages in the 1800s
Post by: peterarkell on Monday 19 September 05 17:47 BST (UK)

Could somebody look up the marriage of my great great grandparents William and Jane Purves in or before 1846.  They lived in the Ord Mill area of Tweedmouth.
Also looking for the marriage of my great-grandparents Alexander and Mary Gladston around 1851.  They lived in and came from Spittal.  All these people were Presbyterians and so could have got married at one of the places on the Scottish border such as Lamberton Toll or Gretna Green.
