Marriage - John Williamson c1765

[specialkg]

I am trying to find the marriage of John Williamson born 1745 to Christian Hosack born 1743.  Their first child Elizabeth was born on 29th March 1767.  They were all born in Speymouth.

My reason for this request is to find the parents of John Williamson which would get me back another generation.

If there is another way please let me know.

Thanks
Betty

Hi Betty

Not finding the marriage you seek but have found these which may be of help :

29/10/1727 WILLIAMSON CHRISTAN WILLIAM HOSACK/ F Cromarty /ROSS AND CROMARTY

18/01/1712 WILLIAMSON DONALD ISOBEL HOSACK/ M Cromarty /ROSS AND CROMARTY

10/07/1705 WILLIAMSON JOHN JEAN HOSACK/ M Cromarty /ROSS AND CROMARTY

13/02/1706 WILLIAMSON MARGT DONALD HOSACK/ F Cromarty /ROSS AND CROMARTY

That came from an all Scotland search from 1500s to 1854 on Scotland's people

Is possible not recorded  if they were anything other than established Church of Scotland as 'non-conformist' records not on Scotland's People. That part of Scotland more likely to be non-conformist as well

However the National archives Scotland is well worth contacting cos they have some non- conformist records

Cheers

Thanks for sending all that information.

Not sure about the Cromarty lot but the last two messages certainly look like my bunch.

Thanks for that.

Hi Betty

You're welcome. The OPR baptism is worth getting from Scotland's People but it may not have parents details on it. Unfortunately the OPR records vary in content whereas anything post 1855 is unform in content.

However it is worth having a look.

Betty, even if you do find the marriage record (highly unlikely) it is not going to tell you the names of the couple's parents. If you are very lucky you might get the name of the bride's father, but not her mother or the groom's parents, unless they were very prominent and important folk.

Thanks Forfarian.

When I put my message on back in February I did not realise you didn't get the parents on the OPR.  I now realise you don't get very much!!

Thanks

Yes, sorry, I know I'm a bit late with that piece of information
