The Highland Archive Centre might have more documents that could help. They have always been very friendly when I visited so might be worth an email?

I must admit I was very surprised to suddenly receive replies to this very old post! Thanks to every one who has posted.

The wedding I was interested in was between Barnett Benjamin and Betty Kahn. Betty's mother was a Joanna Rottermondt, and she married a Nachoum Kahn. From the information that has been provided here, it might be that Joanna is a sibling of Frederica Rottermund - I know from experience that Jerwish surnames get spelled in all sorts of ways. There is also the marriage of Louis Hirschberg to Lottie Kahn. A sister to Betty Kahn, perhaps? If there are such close family connections as these, then the address makes sense. The main issue here is that we are now delving back into Mid 19th century Poland/Russia for some of the birth/marriage records, and that makes research a tad difficult, not least because of the pogroms and frequent changes to national boundaries and multiple variations in surname spellings.

That is what happens when people have their browser monitoring a forum.  Someone does a search, finds a match and replies, often without realising the original was quite old.  Then someone replies to their reply ...

But often it can bring up useful new information.

Louis Hirschberg married Lottie Kahn in Glasgow in 1899.  Louis and Lottie were "cousins german".

Louis' parents were Hirsch Hirschberg and Frederica Rotermund.

Lotties' parents were Nathan Kahn and Annie Rotermund. 

The usual residence given for both Louis and Lottie on their marriage record is 6 Caledonia Road, Glasgow. This also happens to be the usual address for Betty Kahn at her marriage in 1908 to Barnett Benjamin, leading to the implication that Betty and Lottie were sisters.

From Betty's marriage record, we know that her parents were Nachoum Kahn and Joanna Rottermondt, so is it possible that these are the same Nathan and Annie referred to on Louis' and Lottie's marriage record?

As Louis and Frederica were cousins german, could this imply that Frederica and Annie/Joanna were sisters?

Assuming you mean Louis and Lottie, it doesn't just imply that their mothers were cousins, it confirms it.

Louis and Lottie - yes you are correct. A case of brain working in disharmony with fingers
