Thanks Annie. David was a bachelor and 23 - Catherine was a Spinster and 21.
I've transcribed and typed up all the details from the marriage cert, including parents etc, if you want anything else I can send that to you. Or would I be breaking copyright if I posted the transcription on here?
Just caught up with these posts - just been sorting my Ancestry subscription, which is almost due, and it appears they have upgraded my account to World Full Access - nice try Ancestry! Cheeky beggars!
It appears there is no longer an option to renew automatically or not, and it will now just renew if you don't cancel your subscription before or on the due date!
I've just complained to them, saying I'm not going to renew unless they return me to my original sub, with a decent discount thrown in. I'm hopping mad!
And it's given me a headache too trying to work it all out. Heading off to bed now, I've only just picked up on all your messages, so have plenty to occupy me tomorrow morning.
Ok, I'll take a chance with this, and post the marriage information I wrote up. I think it's the actual document itself that's copywrited isn't it? I'm sure it will be removed if I'm wrong!
The Marriage of Catherine Watson and David McCallum took place on the 8th March 1898, at 401 St. Vincent Street, in the District of Anderston in the Burgh of Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, after Banns according to the Forms of the Church of Scotland.
David was aged 23, his status was bachelor, and occupation, Grocer. His usual place of residence was 19 Main Street, Glasgow.
David's parents were Charles McCallum, a Blacksmith Journeyman, and Janet or (Jeanette) McCallum, M/S McEwan.
Catherine was aged 21, her status was spinster, (no occupation is noted). Her usual place of residence was 401 St. Vincent Street, Glasgow.

The marriage was performed by the Minister of Kelvinhaugh Parish, Rev. Donald MacMillan. Witnesses were Bessie Gray and Thomas Currie.
The marriage was registered on 11th March, 1898, the registrar was James Stirling.
Catherine Watson/McCallum was the sister of my great grandfather Whitefield Watson, and she and David McCallum were witnesses at Whitefield's second marriage to Mrs Elizabeth Clark, in Glasgow, 1914.
So it's the land of nod for me now, and fresh eyes and the tips you've all given me - and it's Scotlands People for me tomorrow!
Thanks everyone!
