help to find John Aitken - Mary Illson

[sancti]

Did you get confirmation from her death record to see if there was a transcription error?

[weasel1]

Sancti

I did not find her death record.  I have her birthday and her marriage to George Hunter only.  I'm also a rookie at finding this info.

[sancti]

Does the marriage record give both her parents names?

[weasel1]

sancti

It does not list any parents in the record that I find.

[sancti]

I'm trying to establish how you confirmed that the marriage you found was for the daughter of those parents.

Hi

I know that George Hunter born 8 Jul 1819 in Kirkcaldy was the son of George Hunter and Catherine/Katherine Aitken as stated on George's birth records and I find George's marriage to Catherine/Katherine Aitken 23 Nov 1804 in Kinghorn.  The only Katherine that I find that could fit date wise is the one with John Aitken and Mary Illson.  That probably means that I am jumping to conclusions

might even need to go back again 
never try to make things "fit"
you might get lucky but that seldom happens
so start from what you are sure of .....
then ask questions , lots of people on here would be willing to help
