Residency in Greenoch
« on: Friday 05 February 16 19:36 GMT (UK) »
I have a marriage in Greenoch in 1852. Neither of the couple had any previous connection to Greenoch. After the marriage they sailed for Australia. The marriage certificate does say that both were "of this parish." Does anyone know how long they would have had to be resident in Greenoch before they could be married there?

 Hi there

This website may be helpful to you http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/help/index.aspx?r=554&406. On left hand side click on OPR ( old parish registers) Civil records are only available from 1855. Previous to that date the records where available were kept by The Church of Scotland regardless of the couple's denomination.   The  early records are unfortunately not as detailed as family historians would like.

Regards Orkrad.

Not sure if it is the same in Scotland, but in England it was about three weeks.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.
