Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1799 - Solider in the 3rd batallion of ???
« on: Sunday 12 April 20 14:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

This is an old parish record from Perth, Scotland 1799, showing the marriage between William Spence and Christian Gray.

Would anyone be able to tell me what is written after what I assume says 'soldier in the third [batallion] of....' ??

Thank you!

Update: I found these on Scotlandspeople but the last two don't give parents names. Is there any way to search for them?

As James SPENCE was a marine engineer it is unlikely that there would be an immigration record for him but if he worked the east coast you may find him on crew lists here:

Ah, yes, that makes sense. I'll search that link. Thanks, Debra :)

Hi,
I'm looking for information on Jane Wride's (nee Spence) parents, JAMES SPENCE & JANE CHRISTIE. Jane Wride (nee Spence) was born abt 1869 in Glasgow and married George Wride in 1889 in Brisbane, Qld, Australia. I'm trying to work out when they immigrated and who her grandparents are as I keep getting conflicting results.

Thanks in advance :)
