Title: marriage
Post by: susan ault on Wednesday 29 August 18 13:31 BST (UK)

  Hi all,
  just wondering what church my x 3 great grandparents married in.
  I have had a look at Appin where they married in1836 and there appears to be two churches. I am wondering if one of the churches is newer if any one would hazard a guess.

just says
john clerk
Catherine McDonald   24 jan 1836 Lismore Argyll Scotland. I am also wondering what religion the family followed as john was a slate quarrier,?


                              bestest wishes

                                   sue  ???  :o

The record on Scotlands People shows JOHN CLERK married
CATHRINE MCDONALD 24/01/1836 Duror*. You can download the OPR for a small fee.
Church of Scotland marriage.

*Duror, occasionally Duror of Appin is a small, remote coastal village that sits at the base of Glen Duror, in district of Appin.

Unless this couple were VERY wealthy, the custom was to be married in the bride's home, quite often on a Saturday evening. Only the rich were married in the church itself.

There's a Scottish Episcopal church in Appin, too early for the Free Church plus the Parish Church. The parish formerly included Glencoe & Ballachulish.
