Church in Loanhead.

[wilcoxon]

I have a marriage in 1907. The bride`s residence was 21 Church Street Loanhead.
Marriage took place at 23 Church Street.

 I found what may still  be these buildings , but 23 doesn`t look much like a Church,  however there is a large Church opposite.

It looks as if the bride was living at 23 Church Street*.  Scottish marriages were often performed in places other than churches.

Thanks   I`ve just realised her age was 21, not where she was living   

I`ve never done a Scottish family before,  , with some of the family names it`s even worse than the  Jones`s back down here

Lots of useful info here  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/scotland-resources/

If only the Eng & Wales records were as informative as the Scottish ones

Probably not. Weddings in the church building were the exception rather than the rule until the late 19th century, and even in the 20th century it was common for them to be conducted elsewhere.

Traditionally, most wedding ceremonies were held in the bride's parents' home. If she had no parents living, or was married a long way from home, the wedding might be in the manse or in her employer's home. By the early 20th century weddings were often conducted in hotels, restaurants or in church or public halls.

At least the Scottish records, when you do get used to finding them, contain far more information than English/Welsh/Irish ones.

In particular the inclusion in birth certificates of the date and place of the parents' marriage, the inclusion in marriage certificates of the couple's mothers' maiden surnames, and the inclusion in death certificates of the full names, including mother's maiden surname, of the parents of the deceased, are a huge bonus for reasearchers.

And, of course, older certificates cost a fraction of what English ones cost.
