Hi,
Can anyone help me with the professions of the parents and the locations.
Thanks,
Naomi :)
-
Spence = potato merchant (deceased) and Christie = a Mason (deceased)
-
James Spence = 3 Eglinton Street, Glasgow
-
And I think Jane Christie's address is 3 Watergate, Perth (in Scotland!)
-
Agree with Rhododendron on all ;)
Annie

Yes would also agree :)

3 Watergate was also where the marriage took place.
-
It was common for the marriage to take place in the bride's home or that of one of her relatives.
I think the 'old way' seems rather romantic :)
