Book Description
Excerpt from The Register of Marriages for the Parish of Edinburgh, 1701-1750 The present volume contains an alphabetical digest of the Register of Marriages of the Parish of Edinburgh for the years 1701-1750 inclusive, and is in continuation of the previous volume issued by the Society covering the earlier period of that Register - from r 595 to r7oo - the portion of the original Register now dealt with being contained in the latter part of Volume III., the whole of Volumes IV. And V., and the first half of Volume VI. Like the former, this volume is printed by the kind permission of Sir Stair Agnew, registrar-general and Keeper of the Public Records of Scotland. Shortly before 1700 the entries in the Register begin to expand by giving in most cases not only the names of the bride and bridegroom, but also the names of their parents, with occasionally other particulars, including dates of proclamation and marriage, and payments of sums of money. It should be remembered by those consulting the following Index that only under the male entries is the full information contained in the Register given, and those consulting it under female names must refer to the corresponding entry under the bridegroom's name to obtain the details given in the Register. With respect to the dates of proclamation and marriage, sometimes the Register only gives one, in which case it is probably the date of booking for proclamation. In the entry of the female, where two dates are given, only one, that of marriage, has been inserted. In some cases a considerable discrepancy occurs between the dates of proclamation and marriage, and probably it is the latter that is at fault, as the registrar seems occasionally to have inserted wrong months and years. In or about 1738 sums of money begin to be inserted in the margin of the Register, sometimes in Sterling and sometimes in Scots reckoning, and which is not always apparent. The amounts vary, so that it is not easy to determine whether the amount is a booking fee or a free-will donation to the poor, or both. That a fee was uplifted may be inferred from the insertion against some entries of the word gratis Sometimes also note is made of the re-delivery to parties of pledges or pawns con signed in the hands of the session-clerk.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Register of Marriages for the Parish of Edinburgh, 1595-1700 This Index to the Register of Marriages for the Parish of Edinburgh has been printed by the kind permission of Sir Stair Agnew, registrar-general, and Keeper of the Records of Scotland. The Register, which is preserved in the General Register House, Edinburgh, commences only in 1595, the first entry being on 25th March (then New Year's Day) of that year, and the Index embraces all the entries contained in it, down to and inclusive of the year 1700. The Parish of Edinburgh consisted only of the intra-mural city, the districts outside the walls, such as the West Port and Potterrow, being in the Parish of St. Cuthberts, which adjoined the city on the south, west, and north sides, while on the east was the separate parish of the Canongate. For the period dealt with the Register is contained in three volumes - I. 1595 - 1649 5 II. 1649 - 1694 and III. 1696-1705, and in the two first volumes the entries are of the simplest description - merely the names of the parties married, and, generally, the occupation of the husband, with the date of marriage. In the third volume of the Register, beginning in 1696, the dates of both pro clamation and marriage are given, but in a number of instances the latter date is omitted. In these cases pro before the date indicates that the date given is that of proclamation. After 1670 the name of the officiating minister is sometimes added, and later, after 1696, some information is furnished about the wife's parentage, and sometimes also the husband's. In the Index both husband and wife' are separately entered in their alphabetical order, and as each name thus appears twice, the old spelling has been retained Where it occurs in the second place; 'only under the husband's name, however, is the full information contained in the Register given, and therefore reference should be made for this to the entry under the husband's name.
