Marriage query John Hall, Jean Kay c.1750
« on: Monday 13 January 14 13:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi!

  John Hall and Jean Kay had several children in Haddington, East Lothian. These kids were Joan (1751), William (1753), Richard (1758) and Isabel (1760). However, I can't find a marriage for John and Jean anywhere (I'm using familysearch). Might someone else be able to stumble on what I'm looking for?

  Many thanks,

Stephen, I have no idea why, but often you have find births on the OPRs but no corresponding marriage for the parents  :-\ Almost like marriages were less well recorded than christenings maybe. Not sure on the numbers.

Like you cannot see a marriage on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for John Hall and Jane/Jean Kay on the OPRs.

The children that you have, their christenings (with helpful witnesses names) show on FreeReg.

John 1751 (rather than Joan https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTYS-CXS) www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Baptisms&RecordID=1642644

William 1753 www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Baptisms&RecordID=1642916

Richard 1758 www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Baptisms&RecordID=1643443

Isabel 1860 www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Baptisms&RecordID=1643687

John and Jean are my 5x Gt Grandparents.

I have never found a marriage record which leads me to believe they married irregularly.

The only possible parent (a John Hall) I have discovered on Scotlands People was born in Innerwick (about 23 miles east of Cockenzie area) in 1687 and married to an Isabel Brown 13 November 1719. I doubt very much whether this is a match for viable parentage though given the distance.

It is likely that proving lineage and marriage will be impossible.
