There was only one marriage in Nairn by a Donald Daniel Bain to a Jane.
It was on 5 Oct 1883.

Donald Main Bain to Jane Mackintosh.

The writing is a bit odd so give me 5 minutes to decipher it.  I should be able to give you both sets of parents.

Looing for a Daniel born in 1852 not Donald.

Sorry I was so long, I got interrupted.
My first post was a typo, I meant Daniel.  
I think you'll find it was worth the wait.

Marriage took place at 39 King Street, Nairn

Daniel Main Bain 28 fisherman of 20? Park Street Nairn  (both illiterate)
Jane Mackintosh 25 of 39 King Street Nairn     (    "              )

Daniel's father : Daniel Main Bain fisherman (decd)
Mother : Margaret m.s. Wallace

Jane's father : Alexander Mackintosh
mother : Isabella m.s. Hogg

On the same page there is another marriage.
It is the marriage of Daniels brother to Elizabeth Wallace

James Main Bain fisherman 30 of 20 Park Street Nairn (both illiterate)
Elizabeth Wallace 25 of 2 Park Street Nairn

Elizabeths father : William Main Wallace fisherman
mother Margaret m.s. McLeod

I don't like the name Main coming up all the time, it may be some other word but it has certainly been recorded as Main.

I'll drop you a PM so we can arrange for me to email the document to you.

Dave

Don't use SP for getting census records, too dear.

Thank you so much Dave you are a gem.  My family will appreciate it too.  We have lots of Mains and Bains in our family.  Sorting them out is the trick.  Thanks again

SBA & Dave,

The address 39 King Street Nairn got my attention. My gg-grandfather's brother Alexander McIntosh lived there from the mid-1860's until his death around the turn of the 20th century.

I have only accessed transcribed versions of the Census records (cheapskate) and had Jane McIntosh as Jean, an easily made error. I cannot find her on the 1871 Scottish Census.

Also (Dave) I am keen to know if the mother's maiden name is clearly Hogg on Jane/Jean's birth record? A fellow researcher and I have Alexander marrying Isabella Barron 10 March 1848 and her being the mother of Jane/Jean? Isabella died 21 November 1892 at 39 King Street, perhaps her death record confirms the maiden surname?

Sorry I don't have the original docs for these individuals, but it is not my direct line. SBA send me a PM and I can share what I have on the early McIntoshes.

Hi Andrew,

Jane and Jean are interchangeable names so not necessarily a mistranscription.
I had two living aunts, Jean (sadly passed now) both christened Jane.  Many others over the years are Jane / Jean depending on the record you look at.

As for maiden name, make your own mind up - looks like Hogg to me, a witness (brother Isaac?) has the same surname.  The other witness is Thomas Barron!  I'll leave you to figure that out.

In case anyone else picks up on this thread, after some research, it seems that Isabella's maiden name is not Hogg, but Barron. 
We feel that Hogg is an error on the part of the registrar.
I wont go into detail as to why this conclusion has been reached - it would take too long.

Just to summarise what I think the line looks like...
 
Head
Alexander Barron m Isabella Storm
 
Children:
Isabella c1828 m Alexander Mackintosh
Alexander b1836
Jane b1841
Isaac b1843
 
Grandchildren
Jane c1854 m Daniel Bain c1854
James b1857 died 1863
Isabella 1859 died prior to 1867
Margaret 1862
James 1864
Isabella 1867
Anne 1871
............................................................
children of Margaret Barron (cousin/sister to Isabella?) and John Hogg
Isaac b1861  (witness to Jane's marriage)
Alexander b1863
............................................................
Haven't figured out who Thomas Barron, the other witness was.  However, there was a Thomas born 1861 to William Barron and Anne Davidson. 
Assume William Barron is another brother or cousin to Isabella b1828.
