Hi,
I'm a new member from Australia, and I'm very puzzled about aspects of BDM records.
I've located the marriage of my 3g-grandparents Alexander Forbes and Christian/Christina Sutherland on OPR (Marriages 037/00 0010 0317 Halkirk). Two IGI records, one for Latheron and one for Halkirk, state that they were submitted by members of the LDS church. Hugh Wallis's pages, which remove the patron entries, don't list the marriage at all. Yet OPR lists the marriage as if it's recorded officially.
A similar situation exists for my 2g-grandparents Alexander Forbes and Ann Gunn, but there's an extra complicating factor in that OPR lists the marriage under Latheron whereas Ann's Queensland death certificate (completed by Alexander) states that they were married at Halsary. My map shows Halsary as being in Watten parish.
Can anyone enlighten me on the status of these records?
