why they moved over to kinning park after 1901, I don't know.

If your ancestor was the Jas. Dunbar of 49 Reidvale Street listed in the directories he is also listed as the manager of W. White and Son which appears to be a large wholesalers business.

Possible reasons for their move to the south side are
1) - as manager he became "upwardly mobile" in the social strata
2) on retirement they chose a "better" area

That part of Strathbungo although tenement buildings are more towards the top end of the tenement class with large spacious rooms and some having rooms for servants quarters. The view overlooking the park was also an addition to their more genteel reputation.

Could it be this White's?     http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertpool/5360475920/  much of this still standing, now flats.

If their marriage was a Presbyterian one the location is most likely a house as the actual church buildings were not normally used for weddings. The most common places were the Brides own home or the Ministers home (the Manse)

Thanks as was a tad confused there.Tha address of 7 Moray Place was part of No,s 1-10 designed by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson the famous Architect who also lived and died in No 1 around 1875. My ancestor was a Stonemason and i was thinking there was a connection ,maybe a worker for him .Also both bride and groom lived in the Gorbals ,ceremony was under CoS banns .

,ceremony was under CoS banns .

The address was definitely not a church although the end units in the Terraces could be mistaken for one given the architecture of the buildings. The block carries several of Alexander Thomson's signature design pieces.....

The Church of Scotland did not normally use the Church Building for regular marriages until some time in the 20th Century it's possible that the minister who performed the marriage lived at that address.
