Help with OPR lookup - Munro/Munroe/Monro/Monroe
« on: Friday 05 January 07 20:33 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help please with a look up of the OPRs.

I am looking for the marriage of the parents of Duncan Munro, born 31 Jan 1790 in Inverary.

I have found two records in IGI.

John Monro and Mary Monro married 1 Feb 1789 in Glassary

John Munroe and Mary Munroe married 2 Feb 1789 in Inveraray and Glenaray.

Would I be right in assuming that they were from different parishes, hence the two records?

IGI tend only to transcribe one date when often there are two or more dates on the original record.  Can anyone help to determine the actual marriage date and some indication of which parish each came from to help trace the next generation back.

Thanks

Hi

The OPRs seems to have both listed (twice under each name). These could be banns or marriage. It would be difficult to judge unless you had sight of the original entry or a copy.

You can order them from the GROS via the Scotrlands People website or directly:

See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,24468.0.html

for a discussion

and here:

for a parish map of Argyll showing them as neighbouring parishes.
