marriage look up
« on: Sunday 16 May 10 16:17 BST (UK) »
Could anyone possibly help me to find the parents/occupation of a couple whose banns of marriage were proclaimed in August (12th,19th and 26th)1849 in the old/west Kilpartick area of Dunbartonshire?Their names were John Mckechnieb1824 Isle of Islay,and Jane Christie,b1831 in Antrion,Ireland.Both were living in Milton at the time.I should be so very grateful.Thank you.

It is quite rare for parents to be mentioned in Old Parish Records.   You may have more success looking up the couples death certificates if you know approximately when and where they died.
Ayrshire: McCormick (mack); McFadzean; Kerr; Brown; Paton; McGregor; McDonald; Moffat; Connel; Bone
Dumfries/Lanarks: (pre-1840) McDonald; Moffat; Bone; Hamilton; Hyslop; Sandiland; Bredwood; Kerr; Brown
Ireland (pre-1820) McCormick (Monaghan)
