  Marriage Notes:

The marriage was celebrated after banns according to the forms of the Church of Scotland. Charles Peter Grant was the minister. Michael Duffy and Susan Ballantyne were witnesses.

Samuel Ballantyne was 28 years old and single. He worked as a rope maker and lived at 108 (or 168) Drumfrochar Road Greenock.

Mary Fulton was living at 18 Crawford Street Greenock. She was a single woman aged 30 years. No occupation was noted. Her father was deceased.

The marriage was registered at Greenock on 30 September 1918.

Note: The extract shows Mary Fulton's age in a rather smudged way, but the most likely number, looking at it, is 30. We know from her 1898 birth certificate that it should read 20. ¹

Samuel next married Jane LYNAS, daughter of John LYNASS and Sarah CAUGHIE, in 1686. (Jane LYNAS was born about 1829 in Belfast, County Antrim, Ireland,⁴ died 24 February 1856 at 9.00 am in 410 Argyle Street, Glasgow, Scotland ⁵ and was buried in Dalbeth Cemetery, Glasgow, Scotland.).
