eilthireach - that might well be possible. Thanks for this useful info!

oldfashionedgirl - it's still possible to view the index for marriages less than 75 years ago - that's what I'm working off. I had also visited the registry office in Kilmarnock, they have a "mini" Scotlandspeople centre there and I could not find any marriage certificate. I did look at their children's birth certificates though and that's where I'm getting this date from.

I did just mention 1959, I was hesitant to give out the full date for privacy reasons but I suppose I will. If I remember correctly, December 11, 1959.

And where was the marriage said to have been?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Closing this now as I've just come across what I was looking for. Groom's surname was only half transcribed. No clue how I missed this after years of looking! Thanks all for the help.

Ah, very good.

Make sure you report the error to SP.
