The nearest one I can see on genuki which covers the dates you need is in Norham.

The nearest Presbyterian church to East Ord would have been Tweedmouth. Unfortunately all the early records of this church have been lost.

What year are they from? I think the IGI index is from 1750ish but I am led to understand there are quite alot of baptisms in the records not in the IGI

The only available Presbyterian registers for Tweedmouth are from about 1900. As far as I know there is nothing at all for earlier dates, apart from deaths and marriages in the Parish Church registers.

Many Tweedmouth families crossed the bridge into Berwick to Presbyterian churches in the town. It may be worth your while having a look, but I cannot see any references to your  Young family in Ord.

I had a quick scout around a few Presbyterian records while I was at the archives yesterday.  I did find one Robert Young in Norham but baptised 1772 he’s a bit earlier than the one you are looking for.

What I did find, and have not noticed before, was that some churches had listed the marriages of their congregation even though they were not married in that church.  Several Scottish places appeared regularly as venues and it might help you in your search for the marriage.  They were Ladykirk, Coldstream, Upsettlington, Swinton, Dunse (Duns) and Lamerton (Lamberton).

Thanks Christine, I will have a look on Scotlands people site. By the way has anyone had any problems accessing Bishops Transcripts images on Family Search?
