Hi Marie - do you mean that you have the marriage date but can't find the actual record?

Where did you get the date from ?

Have you looked on Scotlandspeople ?

But you would need credits to look at any image

Possible census for Agnes. Sorry, but I'm not finding a marriage for them either. In fact the only marriages for a James Ferris to an Agnes are in the 1960s!

Thanks for the information regarding the Gilhooley's.
