South Shields - Marriages 1700s MCKIE/MACKEY & OCHILTREE families

[jonwicken]

Hi I wonder if anyone has access to the marriages for South Shields and if they might please be able to look up the above family marriages in the parish registers for South Shields in the 1700s.

My ancestor's sister born in 1796 was named Isabella Ochiltree Mackey and I am trying to discover where the name Ochiltree came from.

I am missing a marriage for her assumed grandparents Daniel and Eleanor Mackey before c1752 so think Eleanor's maiden name might have been Ochiltree.

I am hoping that the South Shields registers may shed some light.

Any help anyone might please be able to give me would be gratefully received.

Many thanks,
Jon

Hi
 I did have a look but haven't found anything likely, sorry. Both surnames are ripe for mistranscription/ spelling variations though so I may well have missed something.

The following resources may be of help:

Durham Records Online (free to search, payment needed to see details)

Grooms Index of Joiner Marriage Index
http://genuki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/Joiner/Grooms.html (link at bottom of that page takes you to the Brides Index)

Spreading the search further afield, you could try the Old Parish Registers search on Scotlands People (there is a cost to search and see results)

Good luck with it.
