Hi Paul are you sure about the year of birth of Catherine. Birth in 1848 on Family Search Birth not on parish records on Scotlands People Betty

Paul I found the marriage on the IGI & it lists children for the above couple, but they are all submitted entries which means they have not been taken directly from parish records so could be wrong. Your best bet would be to invest £6 on scotlands people & view their marriage certificate & the childrens birth certificates online. Georgina.
