Walter McLeod & Helen Munro

[ColinWH]

Evening,
I've just uploaded a file for help to be deciphered!

http://talkingscot.com/gallery/displayi ... ?pos=-1423

It's the marriage record for Walter McLeod & Helen Munro, married 2nd Jan 1875.
They talk about the scribble of 'the youth of today', but it appears to be an ongoing problem.
Any help with the names of fathers/mothers witnesses etc would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Colin

Walters (I think) are

Witnesses could be James Middleton & James Napier but not sure about them.

I don't know what to say!
The reading skills of you guys is amazing.
I guess after seeing so many, you tend to recognise some of it, but all I can say is that I'm thankful for all your efforts.

Many thanks,

Colin
