Hi thomsos,

My interpretation of this one is:

1907, on the First day of April at St. Vincent(?) Church, Glasgow after Publications according to the Forms of the Roman Catholic Church.

Signed
Thomas Fairley, Sewing
(?) Machine Inspector (Bachelor), 21, 99 Albert Street, Glasgow.
Signed
Mary Gillan, Bookfolder (Spinster), 18, 117 Albert Street, Glasgow

John Fairley, Carter and Mary Fairley, m.s. Marshall, deceased
William Gillan, Blacksmith journeyman and Catherine Gillan, m.s. White
(?)

Signed Cyprian(?) Mcasker(?)

Signed
James _______
(?), Witness
Signed
Alice McElroy, Witness

1907, April 5th at Glasgow.
Signed
G Millar, Assistant Registrar


I would suggest that you send a contact form to ScotlandsPeople. GROS will likely send you out (by post) a photocopy from the book that will be much more legible.

All the best,

AndrewP
