On 3rd June 1892, David Black and Mary McDougall were married at Irvine. David was aged 22 years and Mary 19 years. Both were listed as “farm servant” and their addresses as “Girthill Farm, Ardrossan”. David’s parents were “Robert Black, seaman, deceased” and “Ann Black (m.s. Hume), deceased” while Mary’s parents were “John McDougall, Coal Miner” and “Margaret McDougall (m.s. Hunter)”.
I should appreciate any information relating to their immediate families; siblings, ages, etc.
Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to all TS subscribers.

I can only see one David BLACK with mother Ann in 1871 or 1881, his age is a bit out, but he does have a brother Robert. I don't have access to the original image, only the transcriptions, and the 1871 is poorly done to say the least.

Many thanks Karenlee - more individuals to identify and locate. "Ardofron" is "Ardrossan" but "Fosh Larpkey Franpern" has got me stumped although I know it is probably an occupation.
