Old Marriage Licence 1855

[eiggam]

Hi folks - does anyone know what 'combutant registration' means.
Cannot find a birth certificate for this person but on their marriage licence it says - if I am reading it properly - for their birth registration details  - combutant registation in 1830 in Paisley.  Appreciate help on this.

"Combutant" appears to be a non-existent word  (except as a misspelling of "combatant"), so it would be better if you scanned and posted a portion of the marriage license.

Hi Nick - scanning part of the marriage licence as you suggested.
Maybe this will help.

I believe that says Born but not ..." (once for groom and once for bride)

I think the word 'cobuntant' may be more than one word:

Born but not registered in the year 1813 at Killxanden, Argyleshire. xxxxx that registered in the year 1830 at Paisley.

This section is on the second page of the register from the 1855 certs that ran over the page on to the second page, with all the additional info provided for that first year of official registration in Scotland. I think there are some letters that may be missing from the start of the column which are obscured by the heavy black line on the imaging. Might be worthwhile contacting SP on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/contactus/form.aspx?issue=24 for an enhanced image to see whether the early letters are clearer (worthwhile explaining which area you are having a problem with).

I believe the place mentioned is Kilbrandon http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/seil/kilbrandonchurch/index.html

I'm with Geoff on this.  For the lower of the two entries there is enough of an upper loop visible to identify the first letter as a capital B.

Hi folks - thanks your replies.  Have taken Monica's advice on this one and e-mailed Scotlands People for an enhanced image.
Again thanks your help.
