Title: Missing marriag record for Hendry Banks and Katherine Banks
Post by: Rosezi on Wednesday 06 September 17 17:02 BST (UK)

Help needed to find a marriage records for Hendry Banks and Katherine Banks, they had a son Magnus born 1759 in Holm and Paplay. I have found no other baptisms for the same couple or indeed their marriage record in the old parish records.

Thanks, I did see these baptisms on Scotlandspeople, Magnus Banks my ancestor was born 1759, so there is a ten year gap between him and Euphan Banks and 21 yrs between him and Elizabeth, but this is the only Hendry/Henry Banks and Kat/Katherine I can see on any online records

It turns out Magnus was illegitimate, which explains why I couldn't find a marriage for his parents.
 I found a record in the Orkney kirk sessions that states Magnus was born in fornication to Magnus Banks and Katherine Banks.
