Hi Rootgatherer. I checked your suggestion that Peter may have been James' brother but drew a blank. I had 2 possible sets of parents for James Stobo (William S and Jean Scott and John S and Elizabeth Maxwell). William's details were closer to the information I had. However, both had a James but neither had a Peter. Thanks again. |

Thanks Potty. Will try Scotlands People. I have his death as 1881 but that was attached to his birth as 1799. I'll do a double check on this. |

Janet, if familysearch have transcribed the baptism record, the original image can be viewed and downloaded on scotlandspeople. Did Peter die after 1855? |

Thank you Ann and Rootgatherer for your very prompt replies. The information you gave me checks with what I have although, Rootgatherer, I hadn't thought to take James Stobo further to see if he had a brother Peter. Will do that now. Peter was a blacksmith and somewhere in the back of my mind there was another Stobo who had Blacksmith skills but I discounted it. Will look again. Janet |

Janet, the information on OPRs varied from parish to parish. It wasn't common for the age of the bride and groom to be recorded on the entries. Some entries may give a name for the fathers of the bride and groom. |

Can anyone help me please? I am researching the Stobo family from around Barony, Glasgow. All seemed fairly straightforward until I notices the dates. The information from research is as follows:- |
