usual residence for William is Fairbain?, Oldluce (need to look up places on Genuki / maps) some one local might know.

Did this family go to Argentina at some time and return to Wigtonshire. If so try looking for Jessie also under the name of Janet.

Hi 

The mother Jessie Wallace's maiden surname looks like McLauchlin to me

Agreed

And for the groom's mother's maiden name I'd go for Higham.

The other witness may be William Martin.

The grooms residence I see as ?-?-?-? View, maybe Fair View; but the bride's address I find impenetrable ! - whey-hey ! - it just clicked in part, it's the same as the place of marriage, - H???y or H???g Rig maybe, except that last capital could also be a 'P'.

Yes, that's right - they did emigrate to Argentina and lived there between 1866 (after marriage in 1865) and 1877.

Thanks for all the help!
