I was at Scotland's Peoples Centre in Edinburgh this week and had a look at the OPR's for your enquiry. I found the following:
On 09 April 1833 at Petty, William Clark, cabinet maker, Petty St and Catherine Mackay proclaimed by the Rev Alexander Clark. (ref 106/0040)
On 11th April 1833 Then William Clark, Cabinet maker and Catherine Mackay, Inverness were married by Rev John McDonald of Urquhart. (ref 098/100)
I also had a quick look for the birth entry for William Clark b. 1807 but could not find anything.
Hope this helps.

Hi Barrie

I will be at Register House in Edinburgh next week and can help with a look-up for your enquiry. If you PM me details of the names you have I will see what I can find. Unfortunately I will not be going to the Central Library so I am unable to help with the voters roll enquiry.

Cheers

Hi Simon

I was at Register House in Edinburgh this week and had a look at the marriage you require. You are quite correct in your assumptions regarding Marjorie Sybil Mead and her parents. I will send a PM with the full details.

Hi Donna

The children of Thomas and Agnes I found were:
Elisabeth b.1821, Agnes Scouler Wilson b.1825, Thomas b.1827, William b.1829 and Catharine Lindsay b.1831.
On IGI I found the birth of Thomas Telfer 22 Oct 1784 in Douglas, Lanark (christened 31 Oct 1784). His parents were John Telfer b. c1751 and Katharine Lindsay b. c1755. This would appear to confirm he is your correct descendant as Thomas has named his daughter Catherine after his mother.
Thomas has five siblings on IGI, namely:
Jean Telfer b.20/04/1777 and ch. 27/04/1777
John Telfer b.10/10/1778 and ch.11/10/1778
John Telfer b.02/10/1779 and ch.17/10/1779 (presumably the previous child died)
Mary Telfer b.25/09/1781 and ch.30/09/1781
David Telfer b.17/02/1788 and ch.24/02/1788

Tried to find the marraige of John Telfer and Katharine Lindsay but no joy.
There is a christening of a John Telfer on 23/07/1755 in Biggar, Lanark to John Telfer and Jean Brown. Biggar is not terribly far from Douglas and naming patterns suggest a possible link.

Hope this helps.
