Marriage Notes:
No record of a marriage between this couple has been found as yet.
In August 1772 a son John Gordon was baptised in Mortlach parish to this couple and was recorded as their 'natural child'. In August 1774 James Gordon was baptised in Mortlach parish and Isobel Duncan was recorded as the wife of the child's father, James Gordon. It seems, then, that for the present, the best we can conclude is that James Gordon and Isabella Duncan married after the birth of their son John and before the birth of their son James.
In January 1779 their son Peter was baptised. One of the sponsors was James Duncan of Allbeg, or Aultbeg, which was in the parish of Aberlour. Assuming that this man was a relative of Isabella and that she too came from that parish, and would have been likely to marry there it is interesting to consult the OPR marriages for the parish. According to the Genuki online tables for Church Records for marriages in Aberlour, volume 145/1 for Aberlour covers 1708 to 1774, at which month is not stated, and volume 145/2 begins at 1776 and finishes at 1819. It is just possible that the marriage which we believe may have taken place in this, or another neighbouring, parish slipped through the space between one volume and another.
