Marriage of Andrew Dewar/Elizabeth Mitchell

[taylorwallace]

Cannot find this on Scotlands People or IGI. 1841 Census shows family (parents both born in county) in Inverkeithing with two young children, suggesting marriage 1838/39. Would welcome location and date, please. (Mothers maiden name shown as Mitchell on their sons marriage certificate from 1865 Dalgetty)

Can't easily see a marriage for them either 

This looks to be the family in 1851, everyone showing as born in Inverkeithing except for Andrew:

Andrew Dewar 34, farm lab., b. Dunfermline
Elisabeth Dewar 40
James Dewar 12
Ann Dewar 10
William Dewar 6
John Dewar 3
Thomas Dewar 1
Elisabeth Crawford 6, neice

Town: Hillend, Inverkeithing

Only the births/christenings of the first three children show on IGI, actual extract.

Thanks, Monica; I have the family traced from 1841 to 1901 on the census so really am just hoping that there may be a parish that hasnt got its marriage records on IGI or the Scotlands people site that someone local  there has access to. Being south of the border, I am not personally familiar with the Fife parishes; could of course be that the couple didnt formally marry..

It could be that or maybe simply that the relevant register hasn't survived over the years. It might be worthwhile you ordering films from your local LDS library to see whether you might find something relevant. There are films of births/marriages that did not get indexed for IGI. I would probably start with the Inverkeithing one, assuming at least Banns of the marriage were read there given that Elizabeth shows as born there.

Just picking up on the birth/christening place name for daughter Ann b. 1841, I found this for example:

Inverkeithing     889483 Item 5     Inverkeithing Associate Congregation     Minutes and marriages, 1756-1852 and baptisms, 1764-1852.     CH3/452 National Archives of Scotland

Thanks, Monica and Steve; will follow up with the associate congregation idea as one of the children was baptised there

How interesting: - I have an Archibald Mitchell married to Ann Dewar, 11/03/1832. Archie and Ann were both born about 1810/11, and Archie was a Ship Master; they lived in Crail.  Possible brother & sister marrying a brother & sister?
