The Common Room / marriage certificate has wrong parents
« on: Tuesday 09 February 10 04:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I have 2 scottish birth records and both give the marriage of the parents Henry McFadyen and Janet McEwan as: 30th December 1887

The parents of Henry and Janet on this certificate are wrong!

Janet McEwan is the daughter of Andrew McEwan and Margaret McCulloch the certificate has: William McEwan and Janet McAuley

Henry was the son of Henry McFadyen and Eliza Jane Irvine the certificate has: Henry McFadyen and Matilda Henderson

There is only 1 match for this marriage on Scotland people

anyone have any idea where I can go from here

John Bradbury born abt 1820 in Mucklestone - married Maria ?? of (Market Drayton) Shropshire

children:
Maria born about 1844
