Notes
Marriage
From: Glimpses of Old Glasgow, by Andrew Laird, 1894 transcribed athttp://gdl.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/airgli/airgli0103.htmhttp://gdl.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/airgli/airgli0103.htm
Its [Calton's] other church was the Relief Church in Kirk Street, which had pew accommodation for at least 1,400 People. When the Rev. Alexander Harvey, an
able and popular minister, was its pastor there was not an unlet sitting. At this day [1894], under its present minister, I believe this is still the case.
