Hello Everyone:
I am trying to find a marriage cert for my great great grandparents I belived they may have been married in Scotland because I find no record of their marriage here in Canada...I went onto the scotlandpeople web page and paid to search but didn't find anything that connected them both I believe they would have got married anywhere from 1856 to 1866 because I found a birth reg for one of their children born in 1870 here in Canada but they also belived to have two other children prior to her being born so I'm guessing this time period. Would anyone have any suggestions on where I could find the marriage date. Any information would be helpful. Donna

Hi Donna
If you give us the names of your GGGrandparents, someone might help be able to help with your search. Depending on the names, wildcards are often needed for a search on Scotlands People. Might be worth expanding your search, too to include 1855-1870.
Have you tried looking for the marriage on the International Genealogical Index at www.familysearch.com ? If the marriage was between 1855 and 1870, you are very likely to find it there. The advantege would be a free search and one that includes variations on the name. You can then move over to SP for the marriage certificate.
Hope this helps a little.
Regards

Marriage Cert. Search
Hello Catriona:
Thank you for you reply, yes I did search on the familysearch web page but didn't find anything I even search on Ancestry.com find many others I was looking for but not this one. I'm wondering if it might be the name spelling their last names could be spelled many different ways. Their names are Annie Liddell/Liddel and John Begley they would have been married from approximately 1855 to 1870 I'm guessing they married in Scotland because they are both listed on their death cert as being born in Scotland they had Children prior to coming to Canada I have their names but no birth records they are Annie, James and Phyllis?. All the other children were born in Ontario according to their birth records I found birth records of several of their children and death notices for both John and Annie without any problem this marriage cert would help fill in a lot of info if I was able to find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Donna
Hmmm.....how about a little more info. Any chance John or Annie's DC from Canada listed their parents names? How about their age at death?...and do you think this age is pretty accurate? I'm not finding any marriage yet but you might be lucky to place them in Scotland from the 1841 census (when it soon becomes available)...or even in 1851.
Best wishes

Marriage Cert.
Hi Jean:
No the death cert didn't list their parents names in fact Annie had a note on it that said the daughter didn't know who her mother's parents were but I believe her parents could be James Liddell and Margaret Denison?. John's parents are believed to be John Begley and Isabella McArthur. I have John's DOB as Dec 1841 but the year could be out by a year or so and Annie's DOB is listed as Jan 9, 1843 again there might be a year or two out on the year. John died in 1901 at aged 60 and Annie in 1925 at aged 83. I was hoping if I found a marriage cert. then I could confirm the parents names if I could confirm both their parents this would really fill in a lot of blanks for me since I believe I found both John and Annie's siblings but I need to confirm parents first. Also if I could confirm both their parents I could also confirm their Grandparents. Thanks again for your help.

Sorry. Using sigles is a bad habit. IGI is theInternational Genealogical Index at www.familysearch.com
Unfortuanately the marriage is before 1855 and is from the Old Parish Registers. There may be no information about the parents at all on the marriage entry, but then again you might be in luck.
Kind regards
Catriona

I see that Karen has a post about this marriage. There doesn't seem to be much information on the OPR.
