I am looking for any info on these two people as I have hit a deadend. They were married 28/12/1787 in Brechin Angus Scotland.
I cannot get back any further in my search for these people and any help would be greatly appreciated.

have you looked on Familysearch. Maybe a bit further back than you thought.
There´s a David Herald bapt Tannadice, Angus 22.2.1756 to John Herald & Isabel Vollum. & Elizabeth Kaithness bapt Menmuir Angus 7.11.1762 Father Da.???.
Both of these places are quite close to Brechin.
I noticed that the children of David & Elizabeth were all baptised within a few days of birth. possibly a Catholic family??

Thankyou Ann, I appreciate your help. I had looked at the David in Tannadice but thought given his age when he got married it would make him a late bloomer. I will go back and try a bit earlier and see what I can find, I have all the childrens Info except Isabel as I think she is a different David. from what I have found.

I have also found another girl who may well be related but am not sure yet..
