Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: James Drummond marriage

Wow, thanks so much for your patience and dedication. It means a lot to me the effort put in place to find out more first and afterwards making a clear explanation. I honestly did not know much about the Banns process; I thought it was made to "check" that the bride (or groom) was not already married mostly, not a way to collect money for the church (referring to the payment of a fee).
I will assume, in light of all the information hereby furnished, that we are dealing with the same person and there is an issue with the father's of the bride name. Now I see it clear.

Again, I appreciate all your patience in explaining and clarifying.

Best

So, to see if I follow your line of reasoning: there was only one couple that married on April 18th at Blackfoord, the bride's hometown but had banns posted two days prior on Blackfoord and Crieff, correct?}
The father of the bride was David Clow from that document, right?

However, there appears to have been another marriage on the 16th of April of another James Drummond who married a different Mary Clow but daughter of James Clow from Duchally

Do you agree?

Oh, you think so? That they put banns in those two places with a difference of two days?
I was looking at the map and Blackfoord and Crieff are separated by 13 miles.

However, I was reading on the Red Book of Scotland above posted and it says that James & Mary (couple I) got married on the 16th of April at Crieff (where James had estate). If that were the case, why post another bann two days later for a couple already married? Additionally, this Mary is from Duchally in northern Scotland.

I believe that on the 18th another couple, let's call it couple II, of James & Mary (of Blackford) wedded at Blackford.

Thus, I am prone to believe that the one I might be looking for is couple II, thus the marriage certificate I originally posted would be incorrect :-\

Thanks. It is curious to have two marriages so close to each other involving the same persons :o

The year is 1749

Thanks for the extra info. I will take a closer look at that book!  :o :o :o :o :o
After Clow it says "Blackford" perhaps? ???

Hi everybody!

I came across this marriage record of a great great etc grandpa of mine James Drummond, Scotland, who got married on April 16 but where was he from and the surname of his wife could be Clow?
Thanks

Today I made some additional research on Mary Humby.

It seems she was written down on her own baptism record by her mother only: Elizabeth (no father registered it seems). This was around 1774.

Curiously Elizabeth was also registered with her mother's name as well. On her baptism record from 1741 it reads "Elizabeth the (Spur:)"???

From what I have found out there were three generations of single mothers from the same family on the same town: Elizabeth Sr, Elizabeth Jr and Mary Humby. :o :o :o :o :o

Thanks!

Mary Humby was born in 1774 and her son Dennis Sturges Jr was born in 1801 in Dinton Wiltshire so Dennis Sturges Sr might have been the person you're referring to, Trish

By the way, I found out yesterday that Mary had two other illegitimate sons: Henry (1808) and William (1822).
