I have been looking for a record of the marriage between Jane Gorman of Dundalk, Ireland and Thomas Burton, about whom I know nothing. Their first child was born in 1871 in Dundalk.
Suddenly the IGI produced a possible marriage in Glasgow in 1870! The names matched and the date. I checked the 1871 census in Scotland but they were no longer there then.
My question is about viewing and buying a certificate. I have read carefully the articles in the FTF Reference Library and I still can't see how I could do this without buying a batch of credits. I cannot see that I am likely to use the site more than for this one query.
Would some kind person suggest the best way of going about this - it could easily be a red herring as there are no Scottish connections in my family so far.
