Street name in Brechin, Forfarshire *** COMPLETED ***
« on: Thursday 13 December 18 15:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi there

I'm trying to identify the address on the extract (below) from an 1878 Register of Marriage.

I've tried old and new maps.

Can anyone help?

Regards

Looks like "Vanes Park" to me.

Although some newspaper reports call it Vanes' Park, and others Vane's Park.
