hi
found the marriage on scotlandspeople
it was the only courage/mcrae marriage in scotland and since it was dingwall
ross & cromarty it seemed promising
although i worked out isabella i could not work out the man's first name
do you know what it is ?
maybe then we can see if they are on the census

It looks like Alfred to me - father David Courage, mother Jane, m.s (possibly) Herrard 
Isabella - father Roderick McRae, Mother Jessie m.s McLennan

Have you found Isabella on the 1871?
the only one that I can find is in Fortrose (not far from Dingwall). Father is Roderick, aged 46, but mother is now Mary, also 46

Hi
If you know Roderick's date and place of death, you can go to Scotland's people www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and enter the details and be able to view the death cert which will give his parents' names. The same with Janet. It is a pay to view site but very reasonable.
It will cost 6 units or £1.20.

Hi Spec, this Dru, and I would like to contac you about the Courage and Mcrae families.
I am from Nova Scotia, Canada, and my husband's family are related to the Mcraes, Courages and Drummonds.
We are trying to search his family roots in Aberdeen.
Hoping you or someone else can help us.
Thank you, Dru.

Hi Dru
I'm sure spec will be in touch but in the meantime, could you tell us what you'd like help with - some names and dates and places of how far back you've got would be a good starting point.
Regards
