Scottish Marriage search - Genealogists' Forum

In 2006 I was helping someone with this tree and this marriage was a crucial part to solving a mystery:

Name: Isabella Orchiston
Marriage Date: 14 Nov 1807
Marriage Place: Saint Nicholas,Aberdeen,Aberdeen,Scotland
Spouse: George Middleton

The above is from ancestry's Scotland, Select Marriages, 1561-1910

Now someone else has contacted me about the same record so I'm having to remember stuff from ten years ago! I would have sworn I had seen the original PR for the above marriage, but I can't find that online now. Any ideas of where I could look (I couldn't find it on SP, which was where I was expecting to find it).

Off out now, so not ignoring you!

It comes up for me on SP.

Oh, OK thanks. I'll have to try again.

It is on the IGI, Merry, along with the births/baptisms of children Christian and William

Found it now!

Now I've realised I should have viewed my previous searches to view the image as when I did a new search it wanted me to pay for it again. Makes me wonder if I've ever paid (used credits) more than once for the same searches before?

Anyway, thanks Kate!

I thought it would come up as saying you have viewed before?

I'm sure I've done the same thing but I don't pay twice.

So did I but it didn't.

I just tried the search from scratch again. Even if I enter the exact date for the marriage it still says there are two matches, presumably for the same event, and wants me to pay one credit to see the list of results. Maybe if I paid that one credit it would show me that I'd already paid to view one of the two possible versions of the marriage entry?

Can you not click directly on the 'viewed images' tab? If you use the filters, you should be able to find out whether you have downloaded the image in the past or not

Out of extreme nosiness, I've just downloaded the image myself, so can send it to you if you can't locate it
