Hi Griss

What parish/district was the marriage in? (it will be on the certificate) That will help

HI

according to the 1871 Scottish census there was only one street named Head of Yards and there were at least 3 families that either lived at number 4 or were not given a house number and Ditto was used.   This was Banff in the County was Banffshire.


In the 1881 census there was only 1 family noted as living at that address.
Please note though I am only going on transcription only as I on the site I use they don't any images for Scotland Census.

Hope this helps a bit.

Hi

Familysearch IGI (which has indexed Scottish marriages from 1855 to 1875 direct from the Statutory Registers) has a marriage between Andrew Watt and Isabella Milton on the 4th Dec 1873 in Banff, Banffshire.  It might be worth moving this topic to the Banffshire board where someone might know whereabouts in Banff was Head of Yards
