James Drummond marriage

[kokomo]

Hi everybody!

I came across this marriage record of a great great etc grandpa of mine James Drummond, Scotland, who got married on April 16 but where was he from and the surname of his wife could be Clow?
Thanks

What year was this? The Caledonian Mercury 2nd September 1761 has a list of Trustees for something or other in PErthshire which includes:

James Drummond; Croftnappock; Crieff

[horselydown86]

The place is:  Crostnappock or Croftnappock

The wife's surname is:  Clow

However this book appears to discuss this family in detail:

Found on page 63 but other references exist for the place.

The year is 1749

Thanks for the extra info. I will take a closer look at that book! 
After Clow it says "Blackford" perhaps?

Blackfoord

Several newspaper items indicate that Croftnappock was an area in the SE of Crieff, and close to Pittenzie House. I have found the latter on old maps, but not Croftnappock. However, here on a later map is a Croftnappock Nursery in exactly the right place.

As others have said the place is Croftnappock and the bride's surname in Clow.

I looked at Scotland's People and they have 2 records listed in the OPRs , 1 in the parish of Crieff  (so the groom's abode) and the other in the Parish of Blackford 2 days later.
I think you would need to look at 'both' of these to be sure you get as much available info as possible I suspect the one you posted may have been a proclamation (of intention to marry/ Banns)

Thanks. It is curious to have two marriages so close to each other involving the same persons

Not two marriages, Banns would have been read in both parishes, they'd marry in one.
