Hello Lady Jean - Welcome to Rootschat!!

According to the IGI (Familysearch) William Hay Marshall and Jane Hay were married in Denny on 6th April 1833.

This appears to be an extracted marriage (although could be one of the dates for Publication of the Banns) and lists a Batch Number of M11476-4.

The actual image will be available from Scotland's People, but it's doubtful if there will be much extra information on it.

Thank you, Anne!
Hoping to be helpful to other searchers as well.

Yes - I have seen that marriage date - yeah! - but not much other info.
Have tried Scotland's People site and wasted money - can't figure out    how to use it properly! 
Is there any hope of getting a marriage certificate for William's father, Robert married to Marey Hay? Or is that dated too far back before such records were available?

And btw - two of William's daughters married two Anderson brothers.

Checked the census fror Denny on FreeCEN and came up with the following:

1841 - at Haggs, Denny, William Marshall, 29, coal miner, wife Jean, 29, also Elisabeth Marshall, 8.

1851 - at Haggs, Denny, William Marshall, 39, collier, wife Jean, 39, children, Mary,7, and Robert,8. All born in Denny.

Family Search shows the marriage mentioned in the earlier post and the birth (8-10-1845) and baptism (8-2-1846) of Robert and the baptism of a daughter, Jean, 19-3-1848.

Thank you, Graham. That's the family!

I have all the family info from William, Jane (called Jean) & children onward - just not backward!

Your 2nd post - with Robert Marshall & Marey Hay's children -see family bible attached.

There is a birth of a Robert Marshall to William Marshall and Margaret Stewart in Kilsyth in 1770, but might not be him. What I would suggest is looking at the baptisms of Robert and Mary's children in the Denny register to see what the entries say. They might include the names of witnesses which could point to relatives. Occasionally the entries give actual relationships. You would want to see the entries anyway as they shoud give a residence and might give an occupation for Robert.

Jean, a long shot, try a search of the National Archives of Scotland.

Thank you, Skoosh - I will.
Also, thank you Graham. Will look forthwith in the Denny registers ...how do I find them? Is there an internet address or link you could provide?
