OPR 240/1: Marriages
County of Aberdeen - Strathdon
revised
22 April 2005
Note: Much of the filming of this
volume has two pages per frame. Frame numbers appear at the top of each
page to help place the records (e.g., 0180A=top of frame 0180;
0180B=bottom of frame). The usual order would be
0179A-0180A-1079B-0180B-0181A etc. This does, however, vary from
time to time to make things interesting.
This volume is very hard to read - much
of it is quite faded, in various archaic handwriting styles, and, in places,
largely disintegrated. So, even more so than usual, please take these
transcriptions with a grain of salt and plan to check out the original yourself.
Particularly doubtful or illegible text appears in brackets.
