Thank you sue and Neale1961.  I feel a bit silly as I should have realised what it was.

Shetland / Deciphering marriage record 1800 Delting
« on: Sunday 29 May 22 00:52 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to decipher a marriage record for Andrew Arthur and Margrat Herison who married in December 1800 in Delting but the word I am having trouble with is the word before Proclamation starting with a capital D which looks like Dew. Nearly all the marriage records on this page have the same word  before Proclamation and what does it mean?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Has anyone used Family Tree DNA?
« on: Monday 17 May 21 01:39 BST (UK)  »
Ancestry does not allow any uploading of DNA results from other companies.  I would say the best thing to do is to test with Ancestry and then upload your results to any of the other companies.  I had my DNA done with FTDNA as my cousin originally had his Y DNA done through them about 10 years ago and his Autosomal done after I did. I have since uploaded my results to My Heritage and GedMatch.  Am now thinking that I might get DNA done through Ancestry as well as they have a lot more matches.

Stirlingshire / Re: Looking for burial - Catherine Russell died Bonnybridge Falkirk 1873
« on: Friday 13 September 19 21:12 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both ColC and Forfarian, but having also had dialogue with ScotlandsPeople it turns that CH2 is "Church of Scotland kirk sessions, presbyteries, synods and other bodies (NRS reference CH2), 1569-2006"

This entry: RUSSELL HELEN   JOHN RUSSELL/CATHERINE HENDERSON FRCH2V26 FOUND IN 1827 U 11/11/1818 479/260 19  Falkirk

was found in: "Kirk sessions records, births and baptisms, 1784-1860, marriages 1783-1784, proclamations of marriage, 1855-1860, Falkirk  GS film 304668".

It seems that CH2 record can be found on FamilySearch as "Kirk session minutes, CH2/400/13, November 1803-January 1833 GS Film 4101322" but it is hasn't been indexed yet.

Thank you for all your help. :) :) :)

I have one further query regarding the baptism of Helen Russell in 1818. Scotlands People have two transcriptions for Helen Russell with the same detail but different reference numbers.  Does anyone know what the difference b/w them is?  Were they transcribed from different registers or are they from the same register.  I did obtain a copy of the original baptism today via FamilySearch and it was in the "Kirk sessions records, births and baptisms, 1784-1860, marriages, 1783-1784, proclamations of marriage, 1855-1860, Falkirk" GSF 304668.

Thanks ColC for all the help you have given me.  Upon searching for Thomas Scott, who was missing from the household of William and Helen Scott in 1851, I found a Thomas Scott, 3 yrs, in the household of his grandparents in Bowridge, Haggs, Denny, and his grandparents were Thomas and Elizabeth Russell. I then found a Tree on FamilySearch which actually took the RUSSELL family back to the 17th Century and Thomas' grandparents were Thomas Russell and Elizabeth Cuthill.

Thanks again

Yes, I do have Catherine Russell's death record and the informant was her neighbour who was recorded as being her neighbour in the 1871 Census.  Catherine was born in Caithness and she only had one daughter Helen who seemed to disappear after the 1861 Census so I don't think she had any other relatives around and the Russell's had lived in Bonnybridge for ages.
