Good Morning.

I thank you all for what you have found and displayed. Very good of you all.

Regards Nala.

Corby was 'Little Scotland' even until the 1960's

Yes, I wondered that too ArgyllGran. Certainly would have reminded them of their Glasgow roots.

I wonder if these Paisley-born people (well, Isabella anyway) chose their 1939 home because of the address - Kelvin Grove ?!

There's no 1888 Paisley birth of a John Weir.
Assuming he was indeed born in that general area, there are these possibilities:

Haven't you looked for the marriage record yourself?????

You were given all the info about using SP on your Purves thread

https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Isabella died March 1968 and John in April 1968. They were still at the same address as 1939.

Exact dates of death on above link and also the size of estates.

The only birth for Isabella on Scotlandspeople doesn't match the one on the 1939

The only way to get the actual date is to buy credits for Scotlandspeople and view the record.

Scottish marriage records name both parents, including the mothers' maiden surnames. As the marriage took place more than 75 years ago, you can view the image online and download it.

Could someone help me to find the Marriage date of John Weir and Isabella Aitken Mckay please?

Paisley is the only place i have in my notes. Plus Watson is written next to it.

John born 1888 ? Paisley, Scotland. I think he is the death in 1968 .Registered in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
Isabella 1890 ? Scotland.

Hoping someone can help me.
Kind regards Nala.
