I have "inherited" a photocopy of an extract from an OLD PAROCHIAL REGISTER
with the marriage of my GrGrGrGrGrandparents (Donald McALLISTER and Sarah
BUIE) in 1828. On this sheet is also a few other marriages listed:


Parish of Jura and Colonsay, County of Argyll
Marriages in Jura (Pg. 53):

April 14, 1828 - Murdoch McCRAIN and Margaret McCRAIN, both in this Parish
were duly proclaimed once and married.

Aug 21, 1828 - John SHAW and Mary SHAW, both in this Parish were duly
proclaimed & married.

Oct 7, 1828 - Angus CAMPBELL and Mary MacDONALD, in the Parish of Jura & in

proclaimed twice & married.

Parish of Jura, were duly proclaimed twice & married.

The above particulars are extracted from a Register of Proclamations of
Banns & Marriages dated 30 Dec 1828.

Hope they are of some help to someone!
