Hi there!

The 1862 marriage cert is a bit difficult to read but I think James Young lived in Crosshill and was a ploughman.  It looks like Isabella lived in Yonderton (!!) but I think that's Glasgow way!

John Callan - father is a grocer and comes from Durisdeer - mother was Mary Hunter

Thanks for your help will keep looking!

Hi! On Isabella Kerr Park's (Hugh Park's wife) death cert her parents are listed as John Kerr and Isabella Callan afterwards wife of James Young!  Some progress!

I found a marriage cert for an Isabella Callan and James Young but she was only 27 in 1862!  Isabella Kerr didn't work either! Ho hum!  Will keep digging!

Mant thanks Monica!

On marriage cert for Hugh Park and Isabella Kerr we have

Father -John Kerr - Coal miner deceased
Mother - Isabella Kerr MS Callan

His father - George Park Coal miner
His mother - Mary Park MS Murdoch deceased

Witnesses - George Park (poss Hugh's brother) and (I think) Matthew Anderson - I've 2 possibilities here on my tree just need to find a connection!

I have many Park's and Anderson's on my tree - but I think the link might be through a Samson!  By the way I can't find Isabella Kerr's birth cert anywhere! I've checked IGI and SP !  Still no luck with the Callan link!

Once again many thanks!

John Kerr (1819) and Isabella Callan (1820) are listed as parents on Isabella Kerr (1845) and Hugh Park (1844) marriage certificate - 7 July 1865. I've been looking for marriage information for John and Isabella (poss around 1840).  Also parents of both - though I know early marriage records don't usually include parents.  I've wondered about a link between Isabella Callan and Jane Callan Whyte. Any help gratefully received.
