Thomas Thomson/Isabella Donnon marriage

[woodlea]

Searching for information on the marriage of Thomas Thomson b1833c Glenluce & Isabella Donnon b 1832c Glasserton. Found a marriage on the IGI 2 Aug.1860 Glasserton but the bride was transcribed as Isabella Dorman!!   ???Would like to confirm this is the right marriage. Trying to find the name of the parents. Would appreciate any guidance on this.

I'd not discount that marriage it's more than likely transcriber/clerics error.  As it was 1860 you should be able to download the cert from Scotlands people that will give you a wealth of info.

Thank you madpants for this advice will send for this certificate & perhaps I can move back a generation.

Hello Woodlea

Yes do consider mistranscription. I have a Thomasina Dorman born 1905 Dorman, died 1906 as Dornan, both entries on SP. It is Dorman and I have the cemetery record with Dorman. Does help as not being common like Ann & Elizatheth.

May I ask whom Isabella's parent are if you have gotten the certificate.

Hello waiteohman
Have not bought the certificate yet but have ordered the micro fiche of Oldluce from the LDS. Not arrived yet. I have penciled in John Donnon & Margaret Douglas for Isabella's parents. Perhaps I will get some prove. Thought the micro fiche a better bet as I may find some other family members.

Hello again. Could you let me know what you find please?

Cheers,
Linda
