John Hunter and Helen Paterson

[isanor]

My 4 x great grandparents were John Hunter and Helen Paterson. They were married in the Parish of Clackmannan in Sept 1796.
Entries in a Pedigree Resource file on Family Search give the parents of John as Henry Hunter and Mary Snodon and for Helen as Robert Paterson and Isabel Imbrie.
A search of Scotlandspeople would indicate that there are others of the same name who could also have been their parents. The place names seem to mtch up.
So can anyone confirm that the parents listed in the IGI source are definitely their parents.
My thanks to anyone who has any information which may be of help.

On a search of Scotlandspeople for the marriage of John Hunter to Helen, there were 2 in the county of Clackmannan during the month of September,1796. Your other website may have listed the parents of both these marriages.

Thanks for this information. I had already noted this. It looks as if I will never know just who the parents were as it seems two couple with the same name existed and were married in the same month - most likely related. Sorry for the delay in replying but I have been on holdiay.

More than likely, the two entries you are seeing will be for readings of the banns and maybe the marriage. Less likely that it was two couples with the same name.

These entries will be from the Old Parish Registers so unlikely to include any details on the bride and grooms parents. Hard to say what info is included though on OPR entries until you check the image.

Thanks to all who have made comments so far.
1. Marriage of Helen Paterson and John Hunter. There are two sets of Banns, one in Alloa for Helen, the other in Clackmannan for John, 25 Sep 1796. Date of marriage was 14 Oct 1796.
2. Helen may have had a relative named Elizabeth whose married name was Gillespie but so far I haven't come across this.
3. I am still fairly sure the Snadon/Sneddon family link up with Helen and John as the names keep cropping up in my researches. So any information would be appreciated.
4. Re births of Helen and John.
There are two possible OPR records for Helen. One is for 17Jun 1772, to John Paterson and Margaret Jamieson, Baptised 18 Jun in Cowperhill (Parish of Alloa). She was one of twins, a brother named william.
The second date is 28 Jun 1774, to Robert Paterson and Isoble Imbrie, baptised 1 July in Collieland (Parish of Alloa). The second birth in 1774 sems to be the one favoured by others whose trees are on ancestry.co.uk and also i9n the Pedigree Resource file on Family Search.
Birth of John Hunter. A search on SP throws up 15 possible births between 1768 and 1780, 6 of them in Clackmannan Parish and 5 in Alloa Parish. The one favoured by others seeems to be 14 Nov 1773 to Henry Hunter and Mary Snadon, in Alloa Parish. I am finding it dificult to corroborate this.
I'd appreciate any further information anyone can tell me.

Many thanks
