Hello folks
Trying to find where my great grandparents were married. It would appear to have been around 1890 in Corstorphine but i'd love to know where. Names are Daniel Banks and Annie Russell. Thanks in advance

Hi there,
Daniel Banks and Annie Russell married the 22nd of April 1890 in Corstorphine parish. There is no church mentioned, but they were married according to the Church of Scotland.
It was common practice for couples to be married at their home address (usually the bride's) during this time. Another common place was the minister's own house - the Manse.
Daniel and Annie are staying at 150 Dundee Street, Edinburgh in 1891.

Thanks so much for that. I guess I now need to find out where the two of them came from and work from there

According to the 1891 census, which Hume mentions, Daniel was b. Thurso, circa 1868 and Annie born Bannockburn, circa 1870.
When looking for Daniel, also look at Donald - Daniel and Donald were often used interchangeably.

So if im following this correctly it looks like my great great grandfather George was no longer around in 1891 when Daniel would have been 23. He lived with his mum Sarah and siblings in Blackhall....phew!

Looks like he died at some stage before 1881.
The IGI (extracted) has the birth of an Annie Russell in St Ninian, Stirling 7 Dec 1869. Parents - William Russell and Margaret Forsyth.
I'll see if I can find the death of George Banks.

My Grandmother Annie Banks was born in Muiravonside. I think this refers to her

The most likely death of George was in Cramond, Edinburgh, 1875. Aged 34.
There are quite a few but this one looks the nearest in age. If so, they would have moved down 1871-1875.

The IGI has a patron submission for the marriage of George Banks and Sarah Bremner in Keis, Wick on 16 May 1862. It records George's parents as James Banks and Christina Sutherland.
This would need to be checked against the Old Parish records.
