  Marriage	28 Nov 1846	Weem, Perthshire   [4]
  Notes	Most of the sources I have looked at have the marriage in Weem, although some sources indicate that they were married in Logierait, which is now a neighbouring parish. The situation is complicated by the fact that the parish boundaries were changed in 1889, so it is possible that they were married in Logierait, especially as the information comes from a transcript of the original document.
