How Can I Find Their Marriage Please....

I have an Alexander Wilson born Scotland 1796 and Ann Davidson born Wareham, Dorset 1799. I have no hope of finding out who their parents were because I cannot find their marriage details. Perhaps they married in Scotland. Their first child was born in Stepney, East London around 1827. Alexander was a mariner so could have married anywhere. Any ideas please. I managed to get birth certificates of children born after 1837 to get mother's maiden name. Irene |

Have you tried the International Genealogy Index (IGI)? |

Even if you do find their marriage, it is unlikely to tell you their parents names if it was before 1837. |

What about checking 'SCOTLANDS PEOPLE'? You might find a baptism on there for Alexander but you'll have to buy credits to view it, |

There are no less than 160 baptisms for an Alexander Wilson in Scotland between 1794-1798 on the IGI alone! Unless you know who his father was and/or which part of Scotland he was from, you have no way of knowing which one of them (if any) was yours. |

Thank you for your kind replies. I think I can get no further with these ancestors and will have to close the door on them. It would only be parish records that may help me.Thanks again. Irene |

Thank you Paula you are kind looking this up for me. I do have Alexander and Ann through the census 1841 and onwards and I have the birth certificates of children born after 1837. I also have marriage certificates of some of the children and death certs of Alexander and Ann. It is their marriage I cannot find. |
