From my two lots above, the following three were marriages by warrant ...

Jeanie West - 1921 - Glasgow (Blythswood) (644/10) - entry 129
previous married surname
Birth certificate: Jane Parker

Elizabeth Hutchison or Hutchison - 1938 - Edinburgh (St Giles) (685/4) - entry 1151
both surnames (born Hutchison, 1st time married Hutchison)

Ann Clark Hamilton or Nummey - 1926 Glasgow (Blythswood) (644/10) - entry 2096
both surnames

All the best,

Andrew Paterson

Can't access the 1938 record on line, but Jeanie WEST was shown as that, but Ann was shown as HAMILTON or NUMMEY, so looks like it was all down to what was told to the Sheriff.......

Hadn't looked at this one due to a superfluity of examples

, but it turns out to show her signature as Agnes McNUTT with index entries under both that surname and her maiden name of O'DONNELL !

I'm becoming a wee bit disillusioned in terms of the info provided to the Sheriff Courts

David re your post.
I have a marriage where it is under both the brides married name and maiden name but can find no evidence of her first marriage to my gr gr grandfather Robert Ross
The register entry states she is the widow of George Ross when infact it was Robert, this I know for fact as she registered their children and I have been in contact with their descendants. It also states Robert Ross on her death cerificate.
From what you have said about the bride and groom not actually attending the registrars but the minister doing so by way of filling out a form, would this be a case where I would be allowed to see the submitted form and an RCE created?
Many thanks
Regards
Bertha

Unless you can demonstrate that you have a legal need to access the original marriage schedule, then I'm afraid that you will not be permitted access. Even if that were the case, then all that GROS are required to disclose is the signatures of the couple.

Hi David,
Don`t know if this one counts or not:
Dunbarton 498/00 0059 : Alexander CONNACHER & Margaret DRYSDALE

Dunbarton 498/00 0059 : Alexander CONNACHER & Margaret PRIMROSE

Margaret PRIMROSE was married to a George DRYSDALE before she married my GGG Grandfather Alexander CONNACHER, the marriage is indexed under both her married name and her Surname.

Or how about my long missing relative
Annie Kerr JOHNSTON (born Kilberry & Kilcalmonell, Argyll) who married a cousin of herself, Peter KERR, & became Annie Kerr KERR?! The only reason I found her at all was because the BC Canada Vital Stats (who do not list under maiden names) thought the double KERR must be a mistake & put her under JOHNSTON! Add to that, in her family, Annie & Agnes were interchangeable given names, so you see she could be listed under quite a few names. Whew!
