Hi cousins up there in bonny Moray

I have a query for an address in Forres ... can anyone tell me the lower address on the attachment?  It looks like 'Sea Park'

The Seapark that springs to mind is actually in the parish of Kinloss

This is the only Sea Park or Seapark in the 1881 census in Moray, the only one listed in LIBINDX and the only one in the current post code directory for Forres.

In which parish/district was the marriage actually registered? Because if it was registered in Forres or in Kinloss, it's odd that the address was given as 'Sea Park, Forres'; if it was registered in Kinloss, I'd expect it just to say 'Sea Park', and if in Forres, I'd expect 'Sea Park, Kinloss'.

When was this and who was the bride?

I am not sure if this is of help but here is a property Sea Park House http://uk.businessesforsale.com/uk/The-Historic-Building-Sea-Park-House-In-Forres-For-Sale.aspx

That is Sea Park House in Kinloss. Despite what the estate agent alleges, it is not in the town of Forres; it it is two or three miles from Forres, from which it is separated by farmland.

This estate agent is more honest about where it is.

Yeah it's the same place, there is only one Sea Park, some info on the Libindex
http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/subjects/subject_place_report_view.asp?REF_ID=PN006153

also Canmore and British listed buildings have information on it too

There is a lovely description of the  Lands of Sea Park and how the house went from originally being built in cottage style  to mansion in J & W Watson's  Morayshire Described, it was written in 1868 and a facsimile edition published in 1983, by Moray District libraries and printed by Nevis Print in Fort William, I don't know how easy it will to get a hold of now.

BTW it's LIBINDX not Libindex. No 'e'. Just in case you ever need to google it.

Wow  3 first editions Would love mine to be a first edition, one also on eBay  facsimile edition though

Ops!! (LIBINDX not Libindex.) not something I need to Google as I use it so often, but god to be corrected as someone might not know the site and be looking under libindex

Hi again ... seems I've stirred up a wee bit o' an interest here!

The register is of a November 1902 Marriage in the District of Elgin in the County of Elgin.  The bride, whose address it is, was the daughter of a 'Landed Proprietor'

Sea Park it is then.  Many thanks
