... No marriage record as of yet, but still looking ...

9 September 1867, Dalbeattie, she listed as Caig:

This should help you find it on the ScotlandsPeople website.

Thank-you gaffy! Found the record, but it is maddeningly difficult to read! Cannot make out names of the two mothers of bride & groom! Going to play with shading and see if I can figure it out.

Post a snippet for deciphering, if you like

Great idea, gaffy! Anyone passing by this thread, tell me what you think the maiden names of the 2 mothers of the bride and groom are! This column is supposed to be father's name and profession with mother's name and maiden surname beneath that. Good luck, I can't figure it out! (the groom's parents are Hugh Rowan and Margaret ? (maybe Christie?) and bride's parents are Robert Caig and maybe Margaret ? (maybe Leed?)

I think it might be Lees rather than Leed.

Margaret Crosbie?

Hugh Rowan
Hawker

Thank-you! What's a hawker, like a street vendor?

I think it might be Lees rather than Leed.

Thanks! I'll try Lees.
