Hi Joyce,
Is this the marriage?

JAMES MORGAN
Spouse: KATHARINE MORRAY
Marriage:
01 AUG 1790 Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland

Also registered:

JAMES MORGAN OR MORRISON
Spouse: KATHARINE MURRAY
Marriage:
01 AUG 1790 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland

Looks like he has two possible surnames...

All the best,
Sarah

Joyce, you'll be able to see these records at the Scotland's People website at http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ . The entry is most likely recorded twice in Alloa and Clackmannan because the banns will have been called in the home parishes to each of the contracting parties - so it is worth looking up both entries. Good luck!

The images are both there for his home parish of Alloa and her home parish of Clackmannan.

The Alloa one is set out in rows and columns - Date, Groom's name, Groom's parish, Bride's name, Bride's parish, dues. The dues column doesn't show the sums of money as some OPRs do. This one lists them as single dues, double dues or triple dues - presumably a payment was made relative to the amount of times the banns were called.

The Clackmannan one is the more usual sentence declaring the couple, their parishes, and that the banns were called regularly and they were married.

But as in the most common style for OPRs, there is no mention of the parents of the couple in either OPR.

All the best,

AndrewP
