Many thanks for your help and also for the links - I'll try there and see if anything turns up - if it does, I'll post back here.

Scotland / RC marriages in protestant churches
« on: Saturday 03 July 10 21:58 BST (UK) »
Hi all
Does anyone know of any instances where an RC marriage was later recorded in a protestant church - as in 2-3 years later?
The years I have in mind are 1813 / 1816 in the Kirkmichael parish.
I have RC ancestors who were recorded as married in the parish church - is it possible that they could have previously been married in an RC ceremony in the chapel (no records so far)? I have a possible daughter of theirs who was born before their marriage date but I can't find a baptism record for her anywhere - just an implication in her marriage and death certs. I don't care about the possible birth before marriage - I just want to establish who her parents were.
I've made a specific post on the Banffshire forum but I wanted to ask the general question about RC marriages too.

Something I just thought of - the marriage entry for Charles and Eslpet is 1816 is in the church at Kirkmichael - they were RC so is it possible that they were married previously in the RC chapel but that wasn't recognised so they had to marry again in the established church?

Yes I wondered if the entry on the death certificate for her mother was in fact her mother in law, who was a Janet Cameron.

I don't trust the death cert entirely - it was registered by her son in law and he was pretty elderly himself.
Her marriage entry definitely says she was Ann Gordon from St Bridgets (which was a farm owned by Gordons) and most census returns say she was born in Kirkmichael around 1813 ish.
