That's the first 1855 death cert that I've come across. As Suz says, wow! It's even better than the 1855 births.

It might also explain the mix up with the Dorothy


A bit more on the Srimgeors:

A more complete set of OPR banns/marriages on SP - all variations of Alex Scrim*ge* (1750- 1795) (for parents of Christian Scrimgeor - m Charles Stewart)

In Dull:
10 Nov 1753 - Mary Morison
12 Dec 1753 - Ann McPherson (James Alexander)
8 Dec 1785 - Nelly Scrimgeor
12  Nov 1785 - Girsal McFarlane

In Logierait:
7 Aug 1871 - Elizabeth Robertson)  These two are probably banns
17 August 1782 - Isobel Robertson) for the same people (Elizabeth=Isobel)

yes I was getting a little mixed up with the "Dorothy"

Gadget what is the difference with an actual marriage and the banns?

Hi suz 

JAP is pretty good at Scottish marriages  but not sure if she's not away to her bed by now.

Before a marriage could take place in the C of Scotland (and England for that matter), it was usual for Banns to be Proclaimed in the parish(es) of the couple three times before they could marry. This was to make a public statement of their contract to marry and  to allow for any objections to their marriage. They could then marry.

The OPRs are more often than not entries for these Proclamations (with successive dates)  rather than the marriage itself. If you are lucky, the marriage date might be given in the entry as well.

Thanks gadget.  Its only the banns that I have mostly seen then!!

I have found a marriage on LDS for the parents of Grace/Grizel Mcintosh (John Stewart's mother),
they are John Mcintosh and Isobel Mcintosh married 16 may 1773 Little Dunkeld

Unfortunately. so far, neither can I. This is all I've found:

I've just peeped at Charles Stewart and Christian Scrimigeor's marriage entry of 1811, Logierait.

Charles is described as Wright in Torrchelie/Tomchelie  and Christian as daughter of Alexr Scrimguer in Tulloch
