Hello,

Can anyone tell me what the dates are in the first section and what the other sections say if possible please?

Thanks.

This is from a Scottish birth cert isn't it?

So first section, you have the details on the birth. The date and time and address where the birth took place.

Section on the right looks to be the details of when the birth was registered, 9 February, at Lochaline xxx (same word as on the left I think).

Then the registrar's name, Archibald xxxx.

The third section on the right looks to be details on the parents' marriage which is normally given on birth certs in 1855 and forever more from the early 1860s. Looking like 1886, 14 January xxxx, Inverness.

Yes, Monica it's a Scottish birth cert. So she was born in Morven which is one of the words. Her parents were married on 12th Jan 1881 but that doesn't look like that on the cert? Lochaline looks correct.

Thank you Monica & Frank

A little more...

Mary Ann's father was Donald?

The 1895 Valuation Rolls, at the time Mary Ann was born, show:

Donald Gillies
Tenant Occupier
HOUSE AND CROFT NO 9 BUNAVULLIN
MORVERN
1895
VR008900041-

I think Bunavullin is the place given on the birth reg for where Mary Ann's birth took place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnavoulin

PS: Marriage place Morar I think. This is where Mary Ann's mother, also Mary, came from? From
SP, just checking, the marriage registered in North Morar in 1881 as you mentioned (Mary McLennan and Donald Gillies).

I think the marriage place looks like Morven/Morvern, which would fit with Lochaline

add -just seen that you found the marriage, Monica, so it is Morar    (I've not been there for a few years - a lovely remote place)

Thanks for that additional information Monica.
Mary Ann Gillies is my great grandmother 

Thanks Gadget

You are in the same areas and names as I started with my Scottish line  Who did Mary Ann Gillies marry? A MacDonald?

My ggg grandmother from Glenelg, Christy Gillies, married Angus MacDonald from Moidart. Not connected to you but just similar histories I am sure.

Added: She married Alexander McDonald and she died in Glasgow in 1879? See what I mean, parallel lives
