MARRIAGE

The Isabel Mewet who married James Cowan in 1812 is identified here as the daughter of Margaret Dickson only on the slimmest suggestion, that her daughter's name was Margaret. More research would be necessary to confirm this. It is possible that she may be the daughter of Isobell Young.

Isabel married James COWAN on 11 August 1812 in Edinburgh, Scotland.¹ (James COWAN was born about 1785.)

Note:

The parish authorities kept a check on such matters, an irregular marriage being a marriage contracted outwith the forms of the Establish Church of Scotland. ¹
