  Marriage	Abt 1837	Eddrachillis, Sutherland, Scotland
  	No marriage has been located as of July 2017. I suspect that as we also cannot locate the births/ baptisms of the children, that this may have been a marriage outside of the Church of Scotland along with the births. May even have been a case of "Hand Clasping."
