Simon Kemp MacGregor and Bessie Lamacraft wedding

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

I remember viewing this marriage entry on FindMyPast when I was a member, but can’t find it saved in my files. It was in Dawlish in late 1886. Could anyone please find me the date and the name of Simon’s father?

Adam

Thanks Trish! I’d never got any further back with him. I couldn’t find a christening.

Nothing obvious for the Marriage of John/Mary or bapts of children on line that I can see either.
