Can anyone help with the following date of marriage of Jessie Main Johnstone Rodger and James McKenzie Johnstone.

James was born in Tranent and brought up in Ormiston. I do not know where he was married as Jessie was from the West. I think the date would be around 1945-1950.

Jessie died in 1967 and James died 2002 both died in a Edinburgh hospital.

Jessie was my mother 's younger sister while James was my Dad's cousin

Daniel Thomson (b) 1859 and died 20th September 1901 at Chapel Farm Cambusnethen.
He was married to Isabella Kerr born 1862-?

Isabella had her son Archibald born 13th December 1901 at the same place where her husband died.

Does anyone know if she remarried after being left with a child to bring up, as I can't find her under Thomson on Scotlands People.

Her parents were William Kerr married to Charlotte Wilson.
