Title: Murdoch marriage
Post by: Peter Matthews on Thursday 05 June 08 05:32 BST (UK)

Hi,
James Murdoch, born 1809, Berwickshire, married Alison Oliver, born 1815, Hownam. For the life of me, I can't find the marriage. Can anyone help me?
Their first son, John Murdoch, was born in 1838 in Morebattle, so they couldn't have wandered too far.
Thankyou,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Just a thought could they have married in England pretty close to the border in Hownam and Morebattle.

Hi Terry,
Thankyou for your suggestion that the Murdoch marriage may have taken place south of the border. I will be following that up as soon as possible.
Many thanks,
Peter,
