Hi
Re: the submitted marriage entry for Robert Wright/Christian Mitchell on 13.4.1832. Submitted entries are always suspect as they are the product of somebody else's research which may not always be accurate
It shows that Robert was 18 at the time of marriage so allegedly born 1814 - incorrect
The 1841 shows his birthyear as 1805 and Christian's as 1807
The 1851 shows his birthyear as 1805 and Christian's as 1806
The 1861 shows Christian widowed and birthyear 1804
Those birthyears would make her mid 20's when she had John

The 1841 has a 12 year old John Robertson living with a 75 year old Christian Fulton in Dollar

Not all children were baptised and even if they were - the LDS have not transcribed every baptism on the IGI
Christian is not on the 1871 census so presumably died between 1861-1871
I doubt the 1832 marriage entry will tell you anything more unless either of the witnesses was a Mitchell, so, even though it's frustrating - sometimes you have to accept that you've gone as far as you can on a person
I have had to give up on my paternal great grandparents because of the lack of Irish records

Pat,
Just a thought - if John Robertson's death certificate in 1877 gives his mother as "Christian Mitchell now Wright", then presumably she was still alive. The certificate will usually note if a parent is deceased. So, then you should be looking for her death from 1877 onwards.

Looks pretty good to me. If the death certificate information is correct, then she was born about 1804, but her parents are John Mitchell and Christina Ramage. This seems to rule out the birth/baptism entry found by Val in Muckhart where the father's name is given as William Mitchel. Anyway, now you can start looking for a Mitchell-Ramage marriage.
David.
