Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Marriage Look-up to help solve mystery
« on: Saturday 16 December 06 10:05 GMT (UK) »
Begging anyone to help with a marriage look-up between William Dinnie and Isabel Will on 225 February 1777 in Aboyne, Aberdeenshire. I desperately need to know if the name of William Dinnie's mother is on the record.We saw oon a site that he was the son of William Dinnie and Rebecca Burnett but Rebecca's gravestone marker says she was the spouse of James Watt. Aside from that the only marriage record for a William Dinnie born about the same time as William Dinnie1 is one contracted with Hallow Hurie in 1738. Also the only birth record for William Dinnie born in Scotland about the year William Dinnie 2 was born is in Orkney. I know that there can be two people with the same name but the children of the unknown Dinnie from Orkney, father of William Dinnie1 and the children of John Dinnie in Aberdeenshire is almost the same aand the approximate birth years are also very close. I have done research on divorce laws in Scotland and it says that until 1820 the only grounds for divorce is desertion and adultery. And if William Dinnie1 was married to Rebecca Burnett then how come he got married to Isabel Mackie or Mackay in 1763 and Rebecca married James Watt on about 1778. If the name of William Dinnie2's mother is on the marriage record of the Dinnie /Will marriage then that would end all this but if not then the mystery will remain. Please help we want to "give credit where credit is due" we don't want to make one woman's son another woman's son lol...
Thanks so much to anyone who would help.
