Kathy,
I am not very familiar with reading parish records, however, from the transcripts provided below it appears to me that they were “. . . Proclaimed” husband and wife in 1766 August 31. This appears to be the actual marriage ceremony. Robert Marshall and Elizabeth Lawson were “booked in Order of Marriage” on 1766 September 10; this appears to be a parish administrative issue where their marriage was officially sanctioned and recorded into the records of Gask parish. I hope that is helps, however, I am not certain. Perhaps Mike and Ron can provide additional information.

The later in Findo Gask reads: 1766 Sept 10 Robert Marshall in the Parish of Maddarty and Elizabeth Lawson in this Parish were booked in Order to Marriage and as usual gave to the Poor On 20 October 2013 19:17, Kathy Thompson <kmthoms...@gmail.com> wrote: Definite the same couple. One parish has Him of this parish and her of the other parish The other has Him of the other parish and her of this parish. No mention of banns in either. Will post transcripts of each if you think that may help.
