Find Ancestors

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to trace the marriage of Jessie/Janet Robb and Alexander MacIntosh (both Scottish but living in London).

I found the following banns record which looks promising:

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/iexec/?htx=View&r=5538&dbid=1623&iid=31280_198822-00217&fn=Jannett&ln=Robb&st=r&ssrc=pt_t1286806_p-273532061_kpidz0q3d-273532061z0q26pgz0q3d32768z0q26pgPLz0q3dpid&pid=7627283

However, there is no corresponding marriage record, and when I looked more closely, all of the other banns on the page have the marriage date written in the margin - except the one I want!

Why would there be banns but no marriage?

Both born in Scotland... Still cannot find the marriage

Perhaps the couple changed their minds - or the parents objected for some reason. Just because banns were read doesn't mean that the marriage actually took place.

Vera - thanks very much - I think that's them, as the children's names seem right.

It seems odd that they would have married (or attempted to marry) after having had children.

Amy,
Nothing surprises me as far as family treeing is concerned !! :-))

Regards Vera

I can't access the Ancestry record for the banns - where and when were they called?

I see the Banns were called in Middlesex. Have you looked for a marriage in Scotland? If one of them was living in England but married in Scotland, the Banns would have to be called in both places.
