Hey guys

Can't make it out very well - looking at the bottom one, marriage of Sutherland. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Andy

First go

First column
1902 on the twenty seventh day of May, at 70 Port Street, Stirling, After Banns According to the terms of the established Church of Scotland.

Groom
(Signed) Robt. Sutherland, Salesman (Boot-shop) (Bachelor), 52, Usual residence 44 Grosvenor Place, Rossmount, Aberdeen, Father Robert Sutherland, Shoemaker (Master) (Deceased), Mother Catherine Sutherland M.S. Anderson (Deceased)

Bride
(Signed) Mary Anne Munro, Saleswoman (Boot-shop) (Spinster), 32, Usual residence 70 Port Street, Stirling, Father Andrew Munro, Gardener (Domestic Servant), Mother Elspet Munro M.S. Fo??ie.

Minister
James Lang, Minister of Stirling

Witnesses
Robt W Smith, Elsie Munro

Registered 1902, May 31st, at Stirling, Thos Webster, Asst. Registrar

Their place of work could be Bookshop not Boot-shop. Thought it might be Boots going on Robert's fathers occupation. What are their occupations in 1901 census.
