Hi Annie,

Spent the day doing some research.  Am attaching Alexander and Agnes's marriage info.  No witnesses on marriage info??

Also trying to purchase marriage for Jane Smith McLaren and John Hamilton along with John Hamilton death info.  Interesting that his mother's maiden name is Dunlop.  My maiden name was Dunlop, although not blood!!   Unfortunately there appears to be a problem with me being able to make the purchase, have written to see what the problems is. 

"(Add...What info. is on their marriage re witnesses/place names or anything else?)  Not sure who you are referring to here?"

The marriage of Alexander McLaren & Agnes Johnston (looking for any clues)

Regards
Barbara

It's always unfortunate when witnesses aren't recorded.

My only other suggestion is to hope sponsors were named on the Alyth baptisms for a clue?

Don't forget to scroll through the marriages for any names significant too.
I've often found other family members on parish pages which might compensate for the lack of info. otherwise.

This is an update on what I have found on John Hamilton, 1st husband of Jean/Jane Smith McLaren.

So another look at the family as Dunlop was my maiden name, just need to check to see if Mary is part of the Dunlop family I am aware of who arrived in NZ early 1860's.  And, so it goes on. 

Thanks for all the help from members here.  Much appreciated.
