Hi

The marriage of Ralph Stott to Helen GALLOWAY July 1848 is on Scotlands people but you need credits to view it

Civil registration in Scotland started in 1855. The marriage and birth images mentioned above may contain little more information than what appears on the index.

On the familysearch website the marriage is listed under 2 parishes - which is an indication that at least one (if not both) of the records are for banns rather than the actual marriage (although they often show the final marriage date)

Name   Ralph Stott
Spouse's Name   Helen Galloway
Event Date   13 Jul 1848
Event Place   Eyemouth,Berwick,Scotland

Name   Ralph Stott
Spouse's Name   Helen Galloway
Event Date   13 Jul 1848
Event Place   Aberdour,Fife,Scotland

In 1851 Helen and Ralph are living in Eyemouth, so it seems likely that was his parish, with Aberdour probably being Helen's parish.

Sometimes there is additional information on the marriage record - the bride's father's name, witnesses but often just the names of the people being married.

There is this marriage in 1826
Name   Lewis Gordon Gallaway
Spouse's Name   Ann Dewar
Event Date   11 Nov 1826
Event Place   Dalgety,Fife,Scotland

Justus could be a mistranscription of Lewis/Louis (or vice versa) or the minister may have written it incorrectly.

Possible find for Helen in 1841 has her working as a female servant in Glasgow. I don't easily find her parents in 1841 - nor any other children.
