[Lynda Karle]

I still haven't found anything regarding my 2nd, Great Grandmother Margaret Harvey Flett born 1845 in Stromness Orkney, she married Joseph Deering.
I am looking for any thing  to start off, birth certificate , Parents, Marriage cert. etc.
Her mother Margaret Flett (nee Goudie) born 1806 Orkney Scotland, married John Flett born 1802 Orphir Orkney, that if I have my info right.
looking forward  for help.
regards Lynda from Australia.

Perhaps you need a library in Orkney?

John FLETT married Margaret Goudie 15 Mar 1827,                                                                         Stromness, Orkney, Scotland                                                         

There will only be a baptism for their daughter Margaret Harvey Flett, no birth certificate.

thank you so much for getting back to me,
so I was right about her parents, now to trace John Flett's parents is so hard from here, because there are so many John Flett's ,I don't know who belongs to who, I don't know if i'm getting too old for this or not. ha ha ha
I checked my Tree and I do have the 1851 census for my G G grandmother, thank you.

Just thinking is there someone I could get in touch with to trace these two links , Flett and Goudie for me over in Orkney?
You have been wonderful, thanks again,
regards Lynda.

All ready been covered? by Gadget

So Margaret Harvey Flett must have married (?) Joseph Deering between 1861 - 1868, where (?)

Maybe this should have been posted on the Orkney board?

You do realise there will not be a marriage certificate for Margaret Harvey Flett and Joseph Deering if they married in Scotland?

"Scotland did not allow civil marriages until 1939"

So the marriage would have taken place via a religious ceremony if in Orkney.

no I didn't know that, very interesting thanks.
