Also - any speculation as to what the hell is going on with this family greatly appreciated! More background on the whole Main / Baillie / Wallace mystery here -> viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18168

Re: Help Required to Decipher Marriage Certificate
Hi Claire,
I read the marriage certificate as:
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Robert Main, Sailor (Merchant Service), Bachelor
34 King Street, Nairn
. . . Father: Alexander Main (Baillie), Fisherman
. . . Mother: Isabella Main, ms. Ralph
Catherine Main, Fisherwoman, Spinster
Catherine Main's x-mark was witnessed by John Baillie and John Ralph.
25 Back Street, Nairn
. . . Father: Donald Main (Wallace), Fisherman
. . . Mother: Janet Main, ms. Wilson
James Burns, Minister of the Parish of Nairn
John Baillie, Witness
John Ralph, Witness
1875, July 7th at Nairn
William D Perry, Registrar
B
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The ones I am unsure of are "Back Street" and "Perry" (I think William D Perry)
All the best,
AndrewP
