Hi  Smiley

have you managed to find James and Mary on the censuses to give you an idea of their birth places?

Thank you Monica & EV -- I will add a bit more into the pot on what I have found --- Marriage cert. says James was a Tinsmith & his father Peter was also a Tinsmith -- The minister was Alex McGREGOR Minister for IONA -- James only put a X (mark) as signature on certificate -- Marys father (DONALD) was a Shephard -- Its hard to read but I think it says Registered at (Catchean Iona) 15th Oct.1859
