Hmmmm?? I thought it looked like "Garrison" too, but what would Tinkers be doing getting married in a garrison?

Hi folks
Just a quick update on this one. I received a photocopy of the page from scotlandspeople today, which I thought was very nice of them, much easier to read. (Thank you SP)
We got it pretty much right, except for a couple of the names but:

The place of residence is
In CARAVAN off Park Road

which makes a lot more sense than Garrison, them being tinkers and all!!! :D

Thanks for all your help

Thanks for the update Sylvia,

It'd puzzled me because the Militia Depot (Garrison?) was on King Street and a wee bit north west of Park Road.

Glad the problem is solved!
