1850 marriage record
« on: Thursday 08 January 15 13:32 GMT (UK) »
Not sure if I've posted in the right section.

Just need a bit of help understanding this. The marriage was in Airdrie.

After their names, what does the 'both H.W.' mean? Some other couples on the page have the same, and some have 'both A.G.'.

I also don't understand the money sections and there are no column headers at the top of the page.

Thanks

Sorry, I can't help just flagging this up to see if anyone can shed some light on these abbreviations :)

Jen, could you e-mail me the whole page please?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Forfarian, not one of mine I posted as someone on a FB group has posted the same question about this parish but for the year 1851 and I was curious as I can't work out what it means which is very annoying...

I wondered if it might have been the minister who married them, but the minister of New Monkland in 1851 was Robert Archibald so that's not it.

There's a RC marriage listed for the Murray/Ceriggen pairing but not the Livingstone/Fairlie couple so I thought perhaps not relating to religion.

I did wonder whether they may have been occupations, Handloom Weaver & AG (Agricultural something)? but found it strange there was no full stop between 'AG' as there was with 'H. W.' so that doesn't work either.

Annie,
That's what I thought initially but when I checked their occupations it didn't fit - Isabella Fairlie is down as a spinner in the 1851 census...but listed as AG in the record. Not sure if the full stops mean anything as the two snips are from 1850 and 1851...

Jen,

Even if the full stops weren't significant on either the 'A' (Agricultural) would normally be followed by 'L' (Labourer) but of course there may have been others re 'Ag' (the norm) rather than capitalised 'AG' which I don't think I've come across yet?

It's certainly a bit of a mind boggler.
