Jemima Wilson, Elgin

[JosiePie]

Hi,

In Jemima's marriage certificate, it says she's the daughter of the late William Wilson, a plasterer in Elgin. 

Her son James was the informant on her death certificate.

Really interesting to know that she was living with the Chalmers family in Aberdeen in 1941 - I wonder if Janette was her mother?

In Jemima's marriage certificate, it says she's the daughter of the late William Wilson, a plasterer in Elgin.

If it's 1846, it isn't a marriage certificate as such. Marriage certificates were only introduced in 1855 as part of civil registration.

What you have found is an extract from the register of marriages of the parish of Aberdeen. This is one of the parishes in which the Church of Scotland kept rather better records, including for example the name of the bride's father. As this information was provided by the bride herself, it is reasonable to suppose it to be correct ;-)
