Hi Red

I think it says "Knight of Aughter--------"

What are the words after "Aughter------" ?

What year was this record - might help with identifying language forms etc?

Cheers

Hi Ambly,

thanks for replying.

The marriage took place March 1816. It has the words Fodderty printed at the top of the page. I presume this is where the marriage took place    I know they came from Inverness.

Do you have any other information - like his wifes name - when you think he/they were born etc, and where they were from - Im presuming its Inverness ?

Here is the marriage. His wifes name was Margaret MacDonald. It took place Inverness, March 1816.

I wonder if it is meant to be a form of Aughterarder (Auchterader) in Perthshire?

Please excuse my Scottish geography, but is that far from Inverness?

Hi

I knew your McLennans would not rest, Red 

The marriage was in Fodderty, Ross and Cromarty. Fodderty is not far from Inverness. I think we followed the family around and around there.

I think it reads John MacLennan, Heights, ploughman, so this would probably mean the Heights of Fodderty.
