Unfortunately I don’t have a copy of the Declaration for the Tartar as I only had time to photograph vessels from Scottish ports. However I did find mentions to both vessels in Lloyds List I’ve put the images online.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: OPR baptism Con?

That sounds likely - this one marriage has always intrigued me as the family is otherwise well recorded - Elizabeth had a brother so I'll check and see if that entry sheds more light.
Thank you.

Yes than you - it is Old Monkland  - curious that there are no witnesses as there was plenty of family in the area and I cant find the marriage which again is odd making me think there was something unusual about it.
