The parents look to me like:

Hannah McKenna m.s. Queenie

James Hammill, chemical work labourer
Ann Hammill m.s. O neil

Best wishes

Hi Dennis,

Have you looked at any of the other children's birth entries to see what info is given for a marriage? I know you've looked at James's (where it won't be shown) but it should be on the other 3. It would be interesting to see if the date and place are consistent.

Still haven't been to The Mitchell but have the details in my wee book.

Regards,
Annette

Hi Annette;

For the other 3 children the marriage date id given as April 5, 1860 in Glasgow, the 1st two James & Charles it was April 2nd in Glasgow.

The registrar was always Peter Ferguson and the parent always used an 'X' mark.

All were born in High Church, Glasgow; 181 Gargandhill

Regards. dennis

Just because the marriage certificate refers to the marriage taking place according to the Forms of the Roman Catholic Church doesn't automatically mean that both the groom and bride were lifelong members of the RC Church, however probable that might be.

It could also easily be the case that just the one of the couple was RC, with the other undergoing a period of instruction to join the RC Church in order for the marriage to be conducted by the RC Church.
