lookup dingwall/bain marriage 1813

[donaldsonjc]

Would appreciate help finding names of parents of both John Dingwall and Ann Bain who were married 18 Jun 1813 in Fodderty, Ross and Cromarty. They are my GGG grandparents. I live in Vancouver, Canada.

I don't think you will get the parents from their marriage lookup, usually the OPRs will give the couples names and their parish

Hi John

We don't have the same problem (RC) with this family line as with the Farquhar McDonald line!

No details on parents here, just some additional info. There are two marriage entries for John D and Ann Bain, actual extracts from the OPRs.  It would appear that probably Banns were read at separate places where they each came from:

1. JOHN DINGWALL  Marriage: JUN 1813 Dingwall, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
2. JOHN DINGWALL Marriage: 18 JUN 1813 Fodderty, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland


There are also some children showing on IGI:

1. DONALD DINGWALL  Birth: 08 MAR 1817 Fodderty, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland
2. GEORGE DINGWALL Birth: 19 OCT 1819 Fodderty, Ross And Cromarty, Scotland

I can see a death entry on Scotlands People for an Ann Dingwall other name Bain in 1870, born 1790 which would fit your Ann.

Which of their children is your line?

Regards.

Monica

Thanks Weemary and Monica

These are indeed my Dingwalls.
Am descended from George>John>Colin>Mairi>me. Colin came to Canada in 1907.

With your help I have learned how to search the LDS site for IGI records etc and have registered with Scotlands People to get copies of birth and marriage records. The downside is that this genealogy hobby becomes quite addictive! But it is very gratifying.

Thanks again

I received a copy of Banns and Marriages for 18th June 1813 and am puzzled by the language. The letters are a little difficult to decipher but by comparing them to the rest of the page it looks like:

"May 29 Were contracted John Dingwall Lught of Dochcairn and Ann Bain Leadohuuch and married the 18th of June"

Lught apparently means "light". I found a reference to a place named Dochairn on the internet but no Dochcairn. But what does Lught of Dochcairn mean?

The Leadohuuch may be Lead ohuuch (two words) or possibly Seadohuuch (no capital L's on the page for comparison) but a search on the internet did not provide any matches to these words.

The other seven entries on the page are straightforward - just the names of the parties and their parishes. Were Dochcairn and Leadohuuch also the names of parishes?

Any help would be appreciated.

hi there.

i don't recognise the names (i live locally to those areas), but i will have another look for you later today...

the closest i can think of at the moment is an area in Dingwall called "Docharty" and there is also a farm by that name.....

if you go to multimap.com and type in Dingwall the relevant page showing Dingwall and Fodderty will come up. then zoom in (twice on my browser) and you should see Docharty there - just north of the Dingwall business park.

kind regards,
Lorna.

Don't know if it is of any help John, but I have a Catherine Dingwall born abt 1805 in either Rosskeen or Fodderty (census records show both). She was married to Donald Munro & her parents were Alexander Dingwall & Catherine (or possibly Isabella) McLennan - from Fodderty but that is all I know
