Colston Milton Parish church (Church of Scotland)

Can I ask if your friend has a copy of the marriage certificate as in Scotland it usually gives the address where the actual marriage took place. This could help track down the church.

The record would also show which form of the Church the ceremony was in accordance with - if it was the Free Church it would  point to the Lyon Street Church

So sorry for the delay in replying.  Friend has just returned from holiday and her relative has "paperwork showing the address of LYON street".

Thank you both so much for your help.

The church in Lyon Street was a United Free Church in 1927 just as Falkryn said in an earlier reply.

(In 1929 most of the United Frees joined with the Church of Scotland although there were a few who didn't)

Follow the link that Falkryn gave to the Virtual Mitchell. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only surviving photograph.

My grandparents were married in 1940 in Milton Parish Church - it was Church of Scotland then.  My grandfather lived at 531 St. Georges Road, my grandmother at 229 Garscube Road, so both were literally around the corner.
