Hi not sure what information you are looking for  but this looks like the marriage
Christian Rennie 9 Feb 1837 St Nicholas Aberdeen
William Lyall

If you are looking for her parents her death certificate will give you that information

These could be the family of William Lyall and Christian West - their children included John born 13 February 1847 and Andrew, born 20 December 1849.
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.

There are transcriptions of the 3 births identified by Forfarian on Freereg - on each of these William's occupation is given as carrier. (You can also see the names of witnesses). Christian's surname has been transcribed as Runcie on George's but as Rannie on William's and Ann's.

The marriage of William and Catherine is also transcribed on Freereg.

Many thanks everybody. I am looking for Christina's parents - but this is proving very difficult when I don't have her place of birth/death or the dates... I believe her father may have been Gordon Rennie, a carpenter in Banff.

This may be Christina's death

Lyall Christina age at death 79 year 1881 Ref 167/13  RD Seafield
Rainy Christina age at death 79 year 1881 Ref 167/13 RD Seafield

Hopefully her parents names will be shown on her death cert  which can be obtained from Scotland's People.

(I have an Isobel Rannie on my own tree - Rainy is a variation I have come across before).

William

Added. I have had a look on libindx and cannot see anything about William or Christina Lyall  but there is quite a lot available there about George Lyall who died in Buckie in 1921 age 84.
