Lookup Please. Marriage for James Scott & Hellen Rutherford
« on: Friday 03 June 11 14:58 BST (UK) »
Hello

I would very much appreciate finding the marriage record for James Scott & Helen/Hellen/Ellen Rutherford.
I am searching for parent's names & anything else I can find.

Helen was born c.1807 Bartefield, Perthshire.
James was born c.1803 Abernethy, Perthshire (father Peter)

Their 1st child (John) was born 1830 Dunbarney, Perthshire, so I guess the marriage would be around this timeframe.

Other information I have:
1841
living Lower Craigie Village, Perth
Helen Scott age 30 bn Perthshire, Scotland
Margaret Scott  age 7
Will Scott age 5
Thomas Scott age 1

1851 census
Whitefriars Street, Perth Dovecotland
James Scott 48 bn Abernethy, Perthshire
Hellen Scott 41 bn Abernethy
John Scott 21 bn Dunbarney, Perthshire
Margaret Scott 16 bn Dunbarney
Thomas Scott 10 bn Perth, Perthshire
Jane Scott 7 bn Perth
George Scott 4 bn Perth

Arrived Australia aboard Nabob 05 Feb 1855  with family
NABOB  05  02 1855   Botany Bay 

Thank you
Dustyrover

Thank you Jacques & Trish. It does look like the marriage - how do I find their parent's names? I know the father's names but am unable to track the mother's names.
Thanbk you

Hi Dustyrover,
I must have had a "Peter Allen" Rio moment when I posted ::)

Should have been;
James SCOTT, 21 December 1800, Abernethy, Perth, Scotland
Father PETER Scott

Try Famlysearch Pilot and check for other Christenings of Children to Peter Scott in Abernethy, Perth. This should give you a base time to search for a Marriage.
From what I can see, searched P S, All Events 1770-1810, Abernethy and came up with these;

Marriage;
Peter SCOTT
Christian DEWAR
22 August 1784
Only one I could find in Abernethy but Peters Wife may have been from elsewhere and Marriage took place there.

Children with Father PETER Scott;
PETER 26 Sept 1784
(MALE) Scott, Birth March 1785, Burial 30 March 1785
MARGARET 09 July 1786
NELLY 21 May 1786
WILLIAM 06 April 1788
PATRICK 16 Jan 1791
MARY 08 April 1792
ANN 02 June 1793
THOMAS 20 July 1794
ROBERT 20 July 1794
DAVID 28 Feb 1799
JAMES 21 Dec 1800##
HELLEN 13 Sept 1811

Hard to know if there was more than 1 Peter Scott Fathering Children in Abernethy

Sorry I cant be more help.
Other may have better ideas :)
