The Common Room / Contract prior to marriage
« on: Saturday 22 October 22 22:51 BST (UK)  »
Hello All,
I have come across a contract dated the day prior to marriage.
Does anyone have any information on what it actually is.

Did William Hewitt have to pay 200 pounds to the Church and or King?
I am not sure who Joseph Say is (maybe a carer of Ann Payne (spinster)

Thanks for your effort and knowledge, some times we just have to accept that we can't find out.
We know where her family were situated so it is not a total loss.

Yes, correct family and yes to Tibbermore but that is not what the certificate has, which maybe could be a house / hospital name and not a town.

William and Jane are the parents of Janet Gorrie. b 1847 Perthshire
That is Janets Australian marriage certificate stating where she was born.


I did just come across this place but not sure still...

A relative has and all we come up with is Perthshire.
The marriage certificate from here in Australia has more detail but can't work it out other than the Perthshire Scotland


Janet's parents worked at Ruthven as per below.
By the time of the 1841 Census, William and Jane were at the address of Huntingtower Castle in the county of Perthshire. His occupation noted as a ‘Labourer’ age 25 and Jane/Jean also 25. The castle is located not far from where both William and Jane were baptized and married at Tibbermore, and close to Ruthvenfield.William working as a laborer could have meant he either worked at the castle or more likely worked in the bleaching fields abounding Huntingtower castle and the village of Huntingtower
