  • Help with Scottish address needed

    OH is being difficult and so I am having to ask you to come to my rescue!

    WendyP very kindly sent me a record from Scotlands People for a marriage of one of my relatives.

    OH asked me for the details this morning to add them to our tree, but then complained that what I was telling him didn't apparently match the IGI rcord for the same event!!

    On the IGI the marriage is said to have taken place at Govan, Lanark (same date and names as on the SP entry)

    Here's the SP record.......now what does it say? I can read the following:

    1873
    On the thirteenth
    day of February
    at 8 M???field Street
    T??????

    After Banns according to
    the ???? of the Established
    Church of Scotland

    Duncan Kennedy and Christina Macpherson marriage cert 1873.jpg

    Am trying to make something say Govan, but I can't!

    Any ideas please.........

    Could it be Mansfield Street, Partick? A quick Google suggested that such a street might exist, and Partick is just above Govan on the map.

      I thought it might be Mansfield St (not very near Mansfield, is it! lol)......but Partick....I was nowhere near that! I thought the first letter was a T, and I was fooled by looking at the bride's surname (MacPherson) as the P in that is completely different! However, had I taken the trouble to also look at the bride's father's bit i would have seen that his MacP is the same as in Partick!!!

      So, I think you are right Kite! Thank you so much

              There was a Mansefield Street in Govan but it's now called Pearce Street and is G51

              Did the record say Partick or Govan on it? Across the top?

              There were Quakers in the area too.... is it you that has Quakers?

              There is a Quaker burial ground in Partick too. It's Glasgows smallest graveyard.

                Shaz, I don't know what was written along the top as Wendy cropped the image before she sent it to me! However, the IGI (extracted) record says Govan.

                Yes, you are right(and clever to remember!) about me having Quakers on my tree, but they are a long, long way from this twiglet! The father of the bride, in this case, was a Primative Methodist Minister from Edinburgh!

                  But was happy to let his daughter marry according to the rites of the established Church of Scotland!

                  BTW I go with the Mansfield Street Partick gang.
