Condition of Original Registers—
Index: For an index to these records, see the Scottish Church Records Index available on computers at the Family History Library and family history centers. The records may be indexed in the International Genealogical Index. Births: Record does not appear to have been very carefully kept. Many blank spaces were originally left, into some of which entries have been subsequently inserted. Marriages: No entries October 1759–June 1762 and they are blank December 1762–January 1772, and November 1774–July 1778. There is only one entry May 1779–June 1782, and five entries, one imperfect, July 1793–August 1803. After October 1812, there are only three entries recorded, dated 1813, 1814, and 1838 respectively. Deaths: The whole record consists of fifteen entries of burials, excluding one from 1823. Source: Key to the Parochial Registers of Scotland, by V. Ben Bloxham, pub. 1970. British Book 941 K23b.
