Marriage Data for Lanarkshire?

[Walter Stevens]

Hi there I'm a genealogical newbie, but I've done ok with the help of familysearch. Scotland has me stumped though. Why when I search for people (eg Annie McIntyre  b c1870) looking for her marriage to Mitchell, do I only get birth and census data back? Are marriages recorded elsewhere? Btw I know they had a child, Annie McIntyre  Mitchell in around 1891 in Lanarkshire, but I don't know their religion.

FamilySearch only has Scottish births and marriages to about 1874, plus one or two later ones. So obviously they won't have the marriage of anyone born in 1870-ish. In any case they only have indexes and transcriptions, not actual original documents.

There's a birth of Ann McIntyre Mitchell in Barrhead and Levern in 1889, and a marriage of George Mitchell to Annie McIntyre in Anderston (Glasgow) in 1886. You can download images of the original certificates at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Walter, someone has added to their family tree online the original image of the 1886 marriage that Forfarian mentions. It shows:
