Marriage Entry Linlithgow in 1705 - help please
« on: Monday 31 July 23 17:40 BST (UK) »
Hi there
Could anyone please help me with a full transcription of the attached.  I can see that Thomas Struthers the younger is marrying Elizabeth Smith the relict of Thomas Adam, but I'm not sure what all of the other text is telling me.
Many thanks in advance for your help
