That is fascinating - I had no idea you could marry away from a church/register office in Scotland back then! x |

Thankyou Rootgather - at least I now know where they actually married and that my first guess about the handwriting was the correct one! |

Firstly, Cornish Susie. The church would be Calton. Calton is an area just east of High Street. I am not certain of it's boundaries but it is the area roughly bordered by Saltmarket on the west, Gallowgate on the North, Abercrombie Street on the east and London Road on the south. The famous Glasgow Barras and Barrowland Ballroom (haunt of the murderer nicknamed Bible John) are located in The Calton. For some reason Glaswegians always refer to Calton area as The Calton. |

Hi rootgather - that is fascinating and thank you for that information. The children were baptised but it seems on looking again that the marriage happaned TWICE (once in Barony and once in Glasgow itself). |

I have the copy of an extract from the Parochial Register for Barony, County of Lanarkshire which shows the marriage of a couple of my ancestors. It was in Feb. 1852, by the Rev.Allan Maclean, Minister of Calton/Colton/Balton/Bolton Church in Glasgow. It's not easy to read the handwriting but hope this helps! |

Were the children christened? Just wondering if the couple had the children christened in the same church as they married. |

One of the spouses had died in 1837 and the mother and children had moved to Carlisle by 1841. |

Peter, have you found the couple who married in 1826 on the 1841 census. That may help to narrow the area where the marriage took place. Also look for the marriage on Scotlandspeople as that too may give some indication of the name of the church. Barony really covered quite a large area. |

As far as I know there were two Barony churches around the Cathedral Sqare area of Glasgow in the early 1900s. Locally they were referred to the wee barony and the big barony. The Barony Church at the top of High Street is now used by Strathclyde University for functions including graduation ceremonies. I have visited it as it was the parish of my husband's grand and great grandparents and know that it was built in the 1890s. I think the wee Barony that my late Mum and late mother-in-law referred to may be situated in Catherdral Square and may be the church used by the Glasgow Evangelical Church. |

Also, I think the website mentioned above is only for churches still in use/standing. I've no idea if the churches I am looking for are in this situation. |
