Hi
I was wondering if anyone out there can help me with information on William Reid And Jean Murray from Muckhart Perth.
I have been able to find there marriage William Reid married 1st January 1808 at Muckhart, Perth, Scotland to Jean Murray FHL Film Number 1040131
There children as far as I can find are John b 1808, Isabella b1810, Andrew b1811 and James b1812 and possibly Peter b1823

William B abt and Jean abt 1785 I have found them
in the 1841 Census there address is given as Pitgober, Muckhart, Perthshire William Reid 57, Labourer,  Jean Reid  56, Isabella Reid 28, James Reid 26, & Peter Reid 18

in the 1851 Census the family is still at Pitgober Wm Reid 70, a labourer, & Jane Reid 68, Isabella Reid 39 there is also a Catrine Reid age 15 listed here??

in the 1861 census Jean is found living with her son Peter at Stirlingshire Green Sq, Sterlingshire.
peter a Boot & Shoe Maker Employing 4 Men I have been unable to find William so I presume he died between 1851-1861

I have been unable to confirm the deaths of William Reid and Jean (nee Murray) there are several trees on line but info seems to be confusing and no evidence hence I have not been able to find the ancestors of either of these people

there son Andrew came to Australia and John went to America. I have very little information on the family in Scotland so if anyone can help it would be great
Thanks

So my issue here is that the  record from Scotlands People shows that Margaret McGuffog lawful daughter of James McGuffog and Ann Broadfoot was born at Nethertown 2nd December 1837
There are also entries for three other children of James and Ann on the same page Agnes born 14th April 1847, John 8th March 1849 and Robert 8th January 1852

On her marriage certificate to Robert Thomson it states that she was born in Drumore Lochrutton and registered in Kirkpatrick Durham, so it seems that Margaret was born in Drumore Lochrutton and her birth registered at Kirkpatrick Durham.  It would appear that Margaret’s birth could fall into the Registers of Neglected Entries category, along with her brothers and sisters.  but I cannot find any evidence of her father James McGuffog being in Drumore Lochrutton any hints where I might be able to look this was before the census records.

I found this information about marriages on the web, can someone explain if this is correct and was it the same deal for births and deaths and for all parishes

It seems common in Kirkcudbright that marriage Banns were practiced. Banns were a method of certifying a marriage used until the 19th century. They were declarations read on three consecutive Sundays or Holy Days during Divine Service, immediately before the Offertory. Any minor needed to provide proof of parent's or guardian's consent. At least one of the marrying couple had to be resident in the parish which they wished to be married in; the banns of the other party were read in his/her parish of residence, and a certificate provided from the clergyman stating it was properly done. Banns were good for 3 months. The wedding had to take place in the church between 8 am and noon
It appears from the marriage records in Urr that because they married first in Kirkpatrick Durham, they had to be re-registered in Urr as well as pay the local parish dues. One of the first acts of a Scot when he moved from one parish to another was to transfer his certificate of church membership, his 'testimonial'
