Renfrewshire / Re: (O.S.Minister) Clement Moscrip Pollokshaws
« on: Saturday 18 October 25 18:59 BST (UK)  »
A tree on Ancestry has a page from a family bible showing Clement Moscrip and Grace Hill were married in June 1830 by Rev. Geo. Moscrip. It doesn't say where. It also lists their children.

Gravestone here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193103032/clement-moscrip
Only Clement's details on it.

This might be his first marriage on ScotlandsPeople:
SMITH
ALEXANDER
BAYNE
MARY
1894

Auchterarder

Are you sure the censuses give his birthplace as Kinney? Could it be Kemnay?

Added. Sorry, just realised it's Alexander's parents' marriage you are looking for.

I think the last lines are "The father being under church censure the mother alone was sponsor".

Thank you, Istrice.  I can see it on the map, and I'm sure that is the right place.

Midlothian / KS record "both in ____?"
« on: Friday 30 May 25 15:48 BST (UK)  »
This is from Liberton Kirk Session Feb 1779.
The writing is clear but the name of the place the couple are "both in" partly disappears into the gutter between pages. It looks like Cl__amin. Can anyone suggest where it could be, please?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: James Drummond marriage

The Red Book has been compiled from various sources, potentially allowing errors to creep in.  In this case it references the OPR Blackford as the source of the marriage information. That OPR states the bride's father is David Clow, so it seems that the information was not copied correctly.

A doctor making a spelling mistake like that, a very common word, seems a little bit unlikely

Thank you for taking time to look at this.
I agree, but this was in a census column for anyone who had died in the previous year, so it was probably the child's father, or the census enumerator, who spelt it like that.  I'm happy to accept it is inflammation and not some rare disease.
