Hi natae,

I take it you have already searched SP http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ and didn't find a marriage. GROS has a leaflet on "runaway marriages"

http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/files1/f ... riages.pdf

Not sure if it will help, but might be worth a look.

Regards,
Anne H

Just more questions :)
How do you know the year they married was app 1846 ?
Have you searched for any children to this couple ? as you know any births past 1855 should give you a clearer marriage date.

Hi Natae
I have their daughters birth certificate it has they married 1846 Scotland
Where and when was their daughter born? Usually on a Scottish post- 1855 birth entry it will state the place in Scotland where the marriage took place and the day and month.

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi Natae,
I checked on what I assume is the same site you are referring to and certainly the marriage that comes up: Mary Ann Guddes and Henry Cragg

looks exactly like the one you want. They appear to charge £15 for the full information in the register. I don't understand what the $900 Australian figure you mention is about.

In case it's not the site you mean, I googled and got this:

All the best,
Sarah
