On the Ancestry site, there is reference to the above marriage, together with site of the church register for 1st February 1889. They were both from Canonbie in Dumfriesshire. Ellen was born around 1856.
In my family tree, the 1871 census for George Scott (blacksmith) born 1797, shows George Scott aged 18, grandson. In the 1861 census, the younger George Scott is shown as George Blyth. He was the illegitimate son of Mary Scott and Walter Blyth. Mary went on to marry Robert Vevers, and had several children, but like other illegitimate grandchildren of George Scott (the elder) George Blyth was brought up by his grandfather, and grandmother. He became known as George Scott by the time of the 1871 census.
As the extract from the above marriage is taken from church registers, I find it strange that there is no record of the marriage on Scotland's People. I would like to know if the George Scott of the marriage is the same George Scott who is in my family tree, but I need a marriage certificate to help. Can anyone help me as to why the record shows on Ancestry but not on Scotland's People.
