« on: Wednesday 10 July 19 20:59 BST (UK) »Hi Churchmouse,
Perhaps it is. The problem is, the IGI records have two entries for this
couples marriage one in Bothkennar and one in Tulliallan, which is just over
the river Forth, both same names and same date, confusing....
Both locations are both close and someone supplying the entries might
have got confused.
Using the official BMD records through Register House generally makes
things clearer, but it costs. Sometimes it doesn't help though prior to 1855
for marriages and deaths.
If I come across any more info, will post it up.
Best regards,
Richard
The marriage records in parish records are generally proclamation of the banns so if the bride and groom live in different parishes you will often see two entries, sometimes the same date but often a week apart.
