Note:

The Church of Scotland minister is recording in his own parish register in December 1793 that two of his present parishioners have married in May 1793 outside of the Church of Scotland.

The couple, George Muat and Elizabeth Mitchel, are recorded in the Kirk session minutes of 1 December 1793 along with another couple who had married irregularly in Edinburgh in October:

"Both couple were declared married, admonished to live suitably, and paid the dues." ^{1 3}
