Not sure if I've missed a save selection but the Save to PDF seems to be missing from the Wills section and it appears that we have to save each page as a jpg - like the olden days

Thank you Douglas P, both records say 'proclaimed in order to be married' no mention of Banns.

Yep - working for me too. I'm following up the absentee landlord who turned out my 3xgrandfather!

Proclaimed was the Scottish equivalent of Banns

I already have the marriage record for Ogilvy Taylor and Jane Turnbull(1840 Dunnichen / Montrose). Might the other record have slightly different information?

Possibly.

If you get what appear to be two records of the same marriage in the pre-1855 OPRs, what this means is that the couple lived in different parishes and their banns were called and recorded in both parishes. It can happen that the record in one parish differs slightly from the record of the same event in the other parish.

It is the same thing. The church terminology was that their intention to marry was proclaimed, but the proclamation involved the reading of what is popularly known as the banns.

In my tree I have transcribed the records of 752 marriages from the OPRs. Only 126 of these actually contain the word 'banns', although in every case what was being recorded was the fact that the banns had been proclaimed.

I wonder which parish they married in! Both are dated 14th June 1840 one is in Dunnichen and the other Montrose

   Gadget, that's me, I live in the past!

I use jpeg for nearly everything especially certs. as I like to clean the big black marks off things (in paint) before adding them onto reports on word as it is so much better looking as well as saving a lot of ink.
