Midlothian / John Kirkpatrick and Elizabeth Begg Kirkcudbrightshire, Kirkpatrick-Durham, Kir
« on: Friday 13 November 15 23:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hope some one can help I'm stuck with this couple John Kirkpatrick and Elizabeth Begg who are the parents on the marriage certificate of William Kirkpatrick who married Margaret Graham in 1868 at Ardwall, New Abbey. I have found various birth dates and various different places of birth for them and I may have them in the 1841 and 1851 census's in Kirkpatrick-Durham and Kirkbean, they may have had 8 children but I cannot find a marriage certificate or banns for the couple so don't feel I can verify anything. I have tried Scotlands People, Find My Past and Latter Day Saints but had no luck on any sites on their marriage. I have checked and re-checked all my other information leading back to 1968 it all appears correct. For months I have kept coming back to this couple and tried different approaches but to no avail and it's costing a fortune, I'm just about ready to give up.

Any help, hints, tips will be gratefully appreciated.

Regards

Ayrshire / Marriages 1923
« on: Friday 10 July 15 00:21 BST (UK)  »
hello
When researching my family tree I came across this in  'When, Where and How Married'.  "At 11 High Street, Ayr"  and  "Police Constable residing at Constabulary Station, Mossblown, Yarbolton", and in 'If an Irregular Marriage, date of decree of Declaration, or of Sheriff's Warrant'.  It say's  "Warrant of Sheriff Substitute of Ayrshire", and the date, registrar Edward Pow.  I wondered if anyone could help me understand what this means as 'Usual Residence' for the male is Dunskey, Portpatrick and for the female is Palmallet, Whithorn.
Thanks
p.s. It clearly say's Yarbolton on the certificate but seems to also refer to Tarbolton in some way?

Dumfriesshire / 'The Pitt, Kirkgunzeon'
« on: Wednesday 17 September 14 21:53 BST (UK)  »
Could any one please tell me what 'The Pitt' is? My great grandparents Banns where posted there and my great grandmother used it as her address.
The only reference I have found is to 'a pitt full of water that thieving women were dunked in'

Thanks in advance for any help given.
