Hello, I've just started working on this branch of my family tree. John Craig (born 1830) was my great, great, great grandfather. His father was James Craig, born circa 1810, and his Mother was Jane Wilson. They were married in1830 in Shotts. I just came accross the following from:

1830 Janry 3 To James Craig & Jane Wilson both in this parish "2"6
Wonder if the assistance was to pay for their wedding?!
I hope this info is useful
