Hi Ruskie
I'll try and clear it all up.
Janet McEwan born 1866 to Andrew McEwan & Margaret McCulloch (known fact from living relative)
Henry McFadyen born 1864? to Henry McFadyen & Eliza Irvine
Janet & Henrys marriage details were taken from the birth certs of their children (all details the same)
30 December 1887
Search for this record - only 1 match (over 5yr period)
I also have death certificates for both Janet & Henry giving the right parents
Details on the marriage certificate had wrong parents for both parties
The reason I wanted to clear up the mystery of the marriage certificate was - that another family relative is now saying Eliza Irvine is not Henrys mother as there is no proof even though she is listed on the death certificate....(as he wasn't the one to give the details) he has no proof of another mother only the wrong details on the marriage certificate and he is disregarding the parents being wrong for Janet too
Anyway I have now searched 8 pages either side of the marriage entry on Scotland people and I think the only way I will ever clear it up is to get the parish record for 'Westercraigs" and that is assuming the clerk entered this correctly
Hope this clears up the confusion
