Help interpreting a 1798 marriage register entry

[SK4SK]

Hi.  I found a marriage of interest in the familysearch.org index.  Subsequently downloaded an image of the marriage register from scotlandsPeople.  Then entry states that on 30 Sept 1798 Robert and Alison were proclaimed in order to marriage and were afterwards married by..." thereafter the entry is incomplete, unlike the other entries on the same page where the minister is named and the date the marriage took place is given.    Should I interpret this as the banns were called but the marriage never took place?  Or should I assume that the officiating minister or parish clerk forgot to complete the entry??  Any suggestions most appreciated.
Thanks

Partial entries like this are not uncommon. I have marriage entries where the name of the bride is left blank, yet the couple did obviously marry and produced several children. Do you have records of subsequent children being baptised?

Hi Graham.  Thanks for that.  No, there are no records of any baptisms of children to this couple in Peebles or any where else for that matter.   I think there was at least one non-conformist church in Peebles around that time: Peebles First Secession Presbyterian Church.

Have you checked the on-line catalogue of the National Archives of Scotland? They probably hold the Peebles kirk session registers. If they do, they can be viewed digitally in the historic search room there. Thery are also available on-line in certain archives in other parts of the country. It is always worth searching their catalogue for people.

What were their full names?

thanks for that suggestion, Graham.

Sancti - the couple concerned are Robert SMITH and Alison HALL - married 30 Sep 1798 in Peebles Parish.  I think Robert may have been a widow.  Alison was a spinster but may have been pregnant or had a young child named to a man named LIDDELL.

Did they live beyond 1855?

Unfortunately no
