Hi Mariac

There is a marriage entry showing in Uig for the marriage of a Murdo MaLeod and Mary MacIver in Uig in 1855 on Scotlands People at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk This is the official (pay to view) site for Scottish BMDs and Census data. There is another entry in 1867 in Stornaway for a couple with these names.

From IGI at www.familysearch.org, there are two submitted entries for these marriages:

MURDO MAC LEOD Marriages: Spouse: MARY MC IVER    
Marriage:  30 JAN 1855  Uig, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
Husband Age at Marriage: 30    
Wife Age at Marriage:  27

MURDO MAC LEOD Marriages: Spouse: MARY MC IVER    
Marriage: 06 MAR 1867 Stornoway, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
Husband Age at Marriage:  24    
Wife Age at Marriage:     26

The first entry seems more likely given the approx. birth year you have for Mary McIver.  If you decide to view this cert on Scotlands People, this will confirm who their parents were. Also, given the marriage was in 1855, the first year of official registration, you will find a very informative entry for their marriage. For the first year of official reg. only, the register entries ran over to two pages and gave an awful lot of info. By 1856, the entries on the BMD registers had been reduced to a single page entry.

Regards.

Thanks for replying to my question. Yes Monica the first  entry seems to fit just right.  Did you mean Macleod for Murdo's last name.? I think Murdo was born in Uig Audrey. Iam not sure where Greenoch is.
I have found a 1841 census with a Murdo MCLeod aged 15 and parent Donald and Mary from Breasclete but I dont know if its the right one or not . I will have to wait until I get on to ScotlandsPeople one day and check out the parents on the marriage certificate.
Thanks again
Regards
