Anne:

Thank you for your amazing reply and all the trouble you took to type up all the details!  Great!

One quick question - by any chance was the date of the marriage of William Chalmers and Katherine Weir
about 1700 on the British Vital Records.

Best wishes Laura McDuff, Melbourne

[apanderson]

Hi Laura,

The best you can hope to get is a 'Proclamation of Banns' for them. If you're not familiar with this term, it's an announcement of the couple's intention to marry and is usually read out in both couple's parishes. The Banns are read on the three Sundays previous to the date of the marriage.

This you would possibly get from the Old Parish Registers from Scotland's People.

In most circumstances, all you get is a date, the names of the couple and their individual parishes. On the odd occasion you might get a father's name or an occupation.

As you know the date of their firstborn, chances are that they would have married around 1701, as you said.

Sorry I can't help you with this one!

Anne

P.S. Nice Scottish surname!!

Hello Anne
thankyou for your message and a huge thankyou for pointing out that some where  born or at least christened in Newton i am a plonker!! i only looked at the Lasswade ones as that's where i had found Carstairs was born.
12 children !!! poor woman!!!
it would be great if i could get him to tie in with the Father Andrew & the mother Eupham as being one of their 18.
Thankyou once again it is appreciated so glad i found this message
regards aeroqueen

[Magnus]

I only read your message of 2005 today, 5 June, 2009!!!!
It sounded quite exciting especially if "your Hugh" and "My Hugh" are one and the same.   In the intervening years you may have more information.  I would like to send you a two page family tree which I have but I need your email address
and I think if I give you mine, it is the policy to eliminate it.  I will try anyway -

Regards Laura McDuff, Melbourne
