    What does the Drummond/Roy marriage entry say? Are they of that parish, or from elsewhere? Does it mention occupations?
    These are not rare names - you'll need every scrap of info you can find in order to pick your folk out of e crowd.

    Don't forget that before 1855 inScotland, we depend on Church records. Not only could each Minister decide how much info would be recorded (in an extreme case I have one marriage entry where the name of the bride isn't given!), but many registers haven't survived.

    As a long shot, it's maybe worth remembering that although most people died quite young in our terms, some people did go into their 90s, so it might be worth trying for them in the early death certificates and 41/51 census returns. You never know.

    Is this from a transcription? There is sometimes more information in the actual record (not always, though). Scotland's People has digitized the registered and, for a small charge, you can download a copy of he page.
    It might just say "both of this parish", which means that they were both registered members of hat church (not that they were born in that parish). If you're lucky, it'll say "daughter of YYY" or give occupations. You never know.
    If you go to the General Scottish forum, there's a few posts at the top about the assorted sources for Scottish information.

    Hi Lesley,
    The info that I posted came from the Scottish Records in Ancestry.ca International of which I am a member. Does Scotland's People provide additional info to what I get from Ancestry?
    Thanks for all your info.

    Depends if what you have is a transcription or not, as I asked. The actual records will be hand written.
    Read my message again, it outlines what you might, or might not find.
    I also have some detailed messages at the top of the General Scottish forum.
