Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record

==================

You should go on to Scotland's People; and obtain a scanned copy of the OPR (Old Parochial Records) giving this and possibly more data-

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

This will cost you about £16 total, £6 to access the site, £10 for the scanned copy. (say around 25 US Dollars)

For the full contents of Scotland's People, which is the most comprehensive site available for Scottish BMD and Census data-

Extracted marriage record for locality listed in the record.

The actual marriage probably took place about a month (or more) later, See Scotland's People for this aspect of the OPRs compared with Statutory Registration which started in 1855 for Scotland, becoming compulsory in 1874.

I would also recommend you try to locate the Marriage and Death Records for all of them on Scotland's People, as there can be different snippets of information on all of them, building up a bigger picture.
