Hi Judy,

There are huge gaps in some of the Parish Registers in Kirkcudbrightshire.

No marriage registers exist for Parton Parish between 1784 to 1832, so if
they married in Parton you will probably never find a marriage. Registers
exist for Balmaclellan and Kells for that time, but most Parish registers
for Kirkcudbrightshire are very patchy and do not contain every baptism,
marriage or burial that took place, loads were never recorded in the
registers.
If the entry says their children were "Lawful" then they will have been
married.

Erica
