1807 OPR marriage record. Ferrier & Mair. Deciphering help please. Gamrie.

Hello everyone.

I'm wondering if anyone could help me decipher what parish Elizabeth Mair is from in this record. Alexander Ferrier & Elizabeth Mair married 1807 in Gamrie.

Here is the corresponding index on FS https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XT2Y-WJM

Many thanks.

Fyrie/Fyvie?

The first letter of the word looks similar to that of Ferrier.

Or Tyrie - the initial letter seems to be missing the crossing that's in the 'F'.

Always worth remembering that a lot of OPRs for Banffshire parishes have been transcribed and are on Freereg. There the transcriber agrees with Arthurk - Tyrie.

Thank you JJ, ArthurK and William for your help here.

William, I didn't know about that database, I will utilise it from now as I have a lot of ancestry in Banffshire. Thank you, I agree about Tyrie, seeing it now and it's closer to Gamrie so it makes more sense.

Brilliant stuff.

Looks like an F the same as on Ferrier to me, making it Fyvie, Aberdeenshire but not so far from Banffshire.

It lacks the cross stroke of the F in Ferrier. I think it's Tyrie.

All small rs are formed the same way - so r rather than v  ..... it looks like Tyrie to me too, and it fits well location wise.

Thanks everyone I'm going with Tyrie here, though I can see the similarities with the "f".
