I am looking for the marriage of James Paton and Betsy Duncan. They had a son called William Johnston Paton born c1853 in Gordon Bervie. I think it is the Angus area, possible places are Craig, ferryden and surrounding. also William Watt and Margaret Andrew. They had a daughter Jane Watt c1855 born in Peterhead. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks Karen |

Have you checked out the IGI or ScotsOrigins websites. If not you will need ScotlandsPeople which is a pay to view site. 30 Units cost £6. Each search will cost 1 or more units to view the results depending on the number found. Each image is 5 units and they can be downloaded. Statutory Registers Births 1855 - 1905 Marriages 1855 - 1930 Deaths 1855 - 1955 Old Parish Registers Births & Baptisms 1553 - 1854 Banns & Marriages 1553 - 1854 Census 1841 to 1901 Wills and Testaments Free Index Search 1513 - 1901 Now this is where the problems start as before 1855 - sometimes no image is available and has to be ordered and can cost £10.
