Hi
I am trying to trace William STRONACH who married Ann/Anne MAN in Glass in 1766 and had 3 children that I know of - George 1768, Margaret 1770 and Alexander 1773.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

What do you mean by ‘trace’?
The marriage:
STRONACH William Ann MAN/ 10/07/1766 159/ 40 135 Keith
I also only see the three children.

As jamjar stated the Marriage was at the Parish Church, Keith, Banffshire
William of Glass Parish, Ann of Keith Parish
A William MAN married Jean STRONACH 3 Jan 1769 same Church
William may have been Bapt same Church 25 Dec 1737 to GEORGE/MARGARET nee MALCOLM
There is a ANNA Man Bapt 3 May 1735 Parish Church, Botriphnie, Banffshire, to GEORGE/MARGRAT nee MALCOLM
So this may be your Anns Baptism.
All above on FreeREG
This looks like your William;
WILLIAM Stronach christened 05 Jul 1748, Glass, Aberdeen to THOMAS Stronach and Margt BREMMER
Siblings;
ALEXR 11 December 1744
JOHN 10 May 1759
(large gap, children born elsewhere?)

Although it would make Ann 31 at Marriage in 1766 and William only 18.
Only ones I can find though.

Unless the marriage entry specifically says that the wedding ceremony was held in the church, you cannot assume that it was held there.
It was the exception rather than the rule for a wedding ceremony to be held in the church building. Usually the wedding took place in the bride's parents' home or, if she had no parents or was married a long way from home, in the manse. Only towards the end of the 19th century did weddings in hotels, restaurants and other halls become more fashionable, and it wasn't really until the 20th century that church weddings became the norm.
Baptisms were also often held in the baby's parents' home.
I was actually baptised in the sitting-room of my parents' home, and I was a bridesmaid at a wedding held in the living room of the bride's parents in 1978.
