Dear Viv, Gordon, Lesley and others,
Thank you all very, very much for your helpful reply emails to my question about a possible irregular marriage of my ancestors in Roxburghshire. I now have a good number of new places to look for the marriage of my ancestors Andrew Scott and Joan Hope.
The following is additional information I have about this couple that I should have included in my first post:
Joan Hope was chr 1777 at Gateshaw Associate Secession, Morebattle.
All children of Joan Hope and Andrew Scott are listed in book "Scottish Record Society; Melrose Parish Registers 1642-1820" ed by Charles Romanes.
Alexander b 1803 Melrose
James b 1805 Melrose
Robert b 1807 Melrose
Margaret b 1810 Newtown
Andrew b 1812 Melrose
George b 1814 Melrose
John b 1816 Newtown (to US in 1854; my direct ancestor)
Robert b 1818 Newtonmill (prob to Australia)

Does the book listing possibly show that Andrew & Joan went back to regular church after their marriage? Thanks you again so much for your help.
Joan Fraser
