sorry  ive not made it clear. have been looking at elgin moray scotland.
the children showing up as born in dallas moray scotland.
dont seem to be able to find the date of marriage   hey thanks again

hi pearldawn, welcome to RC. you can use SP a pay to view site although indexes are free at:

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

not yet found the marriage but children given are:

John 12/3/1775
Margaret 15/6/1777
james 26/6/1779
William 23/9/1781
Robert 7/11/1785
Alexander 13/2/1791

all dallas, moray. margarets  maiden name different spellings!!

[pearldawn]

wow thanks for that  i had missed the robert, yes the cruickshank has many ways of spelling. but i just thought if the children born in dallas moray then maybe parents married there. 

[pearldawn]

i would also like to find the date this John was born if possible, spent a lot of time looking , but not success as yet. i guess if i find the marriage date it might be easier.

the john gow that  married margaret cruickshank,well  their  first child was born 1775 children john, margaret, james, william, alexander and  robert.all born dallas ,moray, scotland.

while i am here ,i think this is a great place to be looking at with heaps of information to be found, i appreciate the time the people have put into this site.and to the helpers that come up with our answers thanks.

[pearldawn]

does anyone have further suggestions for me please, as i have logged on to scotland website for b d m . and nothing shows up there for marriages of John Gow  and Margaret Cruickshank, first child born john 1775 Dallas Moray Scotland. i have all the children , but was wondering about a marriage date .or is it now impossible to go back any further. thanks  pearldawn

hi pearldawn 

looking at the batch number for marriages at dallas moray(m111292)
they seem to run 1749 - 1752 then 1774 - 1785 so the marriage maybe missing
there is however 2 other gow marriages which maybe the same family-

alexander mcrobbie to janet gow 31st march 1778 dallas
james gow to janet roy 18th december 1776 dallas

I would suggest looking for a headstone here:

I've had a quick look and didn't see anything obvious, but you might find it useful in the future.
