How do i find a Scottish marriage (1940-55)

Im after the marriage of a Granville Connelly or possible known as Patrick G Connelly between 1940 and 1955 in the Dumfries / Carlisle are of Scotland. He was born in 1922, so i presume the earliest he could have married was 1940 and we know he had 3 children by this marriage, then was married to a second person in 1960. So i would say the likelyhood is, his first marriage took place 1940-1955 (giving him time to have 3 children after the marriage but before 1960. Can anyone help. Scotlandspeople website doesnt go that far date wise and im no where near Scotland to research in the records office. Thanks, Deborah

Yogi Bear was the nickname of a Celtic football player named John Hughes. My friends gave me the same nickname for obvious reasons. Cheers JJH

Hi Deb,
how do you know Granville had three kids from hid first marriage, do you have details of the wife and kids?
I'm trying to find the family too for James Connelly who remembers Granville at 10 Annan Road, Gretna, Scotland.
Cheers

Rich

Did Yogi find any information for you?

Thanks again

If you wish to contact Deb, who last posted on here over sixteen years ago' click on her name and send a message.

IF..........her email is still the same as it was all those years ago she will be notified and have the option of responding.

A quick look at SP shows NO records of any kind for the name as given

Is this the man?

Richard,

This is a very old thread from 2006,,,,,16 ywars ago.

Its very doubtful it will be seen by the posters on it.

If you wish to make contact with Deb clicking on her name will show if shes still has an active account from which you can send a message in the hope she still has the same email from that time.....otherwise shes no longer a member of the site.

Edit.
Her account isnt showing as closed,

The poster has him - as PATRICK - in her tree as being born in Clwyd - NO record to support that idea.

There is, however..............................

Another member has his birth as being in Greenock - NO record to support that idea

Hi Erika,

great info, yes it appears Granville is as you pointed out, Patrick Granville Nicholas, but preferred to use Granville. I've been contacted by a relative since my post who confirms a lot of what you have discovered and I'm passing this to my better half to update her tree.

Many thanks for all your work

Rich
