Subject: [ScotGen] Marriage record - Mull This shows the marriage of my wife's ancestors in Mull. "John McIlphadrig in ? and Janet Campbell ?? married" (14th August 1792). Help with the words where I have put question marks would be great. The words after Janet's name might be "after proclamations" (of banns). Presumably the other word is where John lives, although I thought he lived in Penmore. Thanks! Seymour

Re: Marriage record - Mull
Goldie & Lido Doratti
If what you think you see is right....GOOD NEWS!! It names a croft or
small village!! Can you send a copy of the page to me direct and I’ll see
what I can make of it? Happy to help if I can. It would be (likely)
the first time the banns were read..usually 3 times.....in both parishes .. IE
where the groom lived, and where the bride lived. And yes it would be
“proclamation” This is too small for me to read, but I can do so.

Peter Hastings 1902-1953
marynewbery
Dear Members, My husband’s Scottish relations are mostly from Roxburgh and Stirlingshire. A great uncle Peter Hastings was brutally murdered at work, and his body found by his son. It seems very likely that the man accused was a scapegoat. I did look at Peter’s murder some years ago now, but seem to have failed to properly organise the paper record, and now can not locate information on my old computer. I particular I have half of a newspaper report from the Falkirk Herald of11th Nov 1953 page 10 but the initial part of the report was page 7 which I do not have. I don’t now recall whether I got this when I had a subscription to the British Newspaper Archive or if someone from the local rootsweb group obtained it for me. If anyone has access to the archives or this newspaper, I would be grateful if they could find page 7 for me. The Article was entitled,” Murder Enquiry Verdict!”
For others from that area who may be interested in my husband’s family lines they are: Hastings and Stephenson, and Dickson and Middlemas/Middlemiss. The latter two both originated in the Roxburgh area, with later generations moving to Falkirk for work. Best wishes, Mary

Re: St. Ninians, church or place (Stirling)
The FamilySearch Wiki is a wiki, and should be corrected and improved by those who can correct and improve it. Please!

Re: St. Ninians, church or place (Stirling)
Even more interesting.
Here are some more images of the old kirkyard of St Ninians https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=126674503 The review https://www.minube.net/place/st-ninian-church-a370661 contains a link to an entirely different congregation, not belonging to the Church of Scotland, based in a different building in Stirling. This https://www.stniniansold.org.uk/ is the link to the Church of Scotland congregation that is based in the kirk next to the old kirkyard. Anne

Re: St. Ninians, church or place (Stirling)
Interesting indeed.
As I have said before in another thread, the term 'non-conformist' in the FS wiki is incorrect, because it is meaningless in relation to churches in Scotland. The term dates from the 17th century, *before* the union of Scotland and England, It originally refers to people or denominations in **England** who did not conform to the Church of **England** and the legislation leading to that never applied in Scotland. There was no shortage of church denominations in Scotland that broke away from the Church of Scotland at various times, but the correct term for those is 'dissenting'. Anne

Re: St. Ninians, church or place (Stirling)
Thanks for your explanation Anne. That explains why my grandmother and her sister held their double wedding ceremony in the home of their mother and then moved on to the Brisbane Caledonian Society for the reception on 26 April 1910. Happy
New Year all Jocelyn

Thanks for all the websites. I am trying to write up my family history now and these will certainly be helpful to "get it right" regarding the area, history and customs of the times. Nancy

Re: St. Ninians, church or place (Stirling)
Anne Farrar
From Wikipedia:
St. Ninians is a
long-standing settlement which is now a district of the city of Stirling in central Scotland. It is located approximately one mile south of the city
centre. It was originally known as Eccles (i.e. 'church'), and may have
been a Christian site from an unusually early date (possibly 5th or 6th
century). Later called 'St. Ringan's' (a variant of St Ninian's).[1]
This church was the administrative centre for churches across the strath of the River Forth.
When you google St. Ninian’s, Stirling, Scotland
there are churches by that name as well in that location.
So it is a church and also a place.
Hope this helps

St. Ninians, church or place (Stirling)
Nancy W.
Sorry for the additional posting - I sent this Saturday but I haven't seen it or had any responses. One of my Lowrie ancestors married Grace Monteath on 30 August 1829 at St. Ninian, Stirling, Scotland. Is St. Ninian a church or a place? Nancy Lowrie Wright

Re: Queen Elizabeth
Which is why I was very careful to say, "The head of the Church of England is HM Queen Elizabeth, who is the second Queen Elizabeth in England but only the first to reign in Scotland."
The formal designation is indeed the official version, and it proves conclusively that there is no such person as the Queen of England ;) Anne
