Condition of Original Registers—
Indexed: For an index to these records, see the Scottish Church Records Index on computer at the Family History Library and family history centers. Some records may be indexed in the International Genealogical Index. Births: There are no entries October 1700–May 1728. The register appears to have been discontinued 1783–1806 on account of the government tax on entries. At the latter date, a record for the period in question was made from notes kept by the minister of the births, and the best information that could be found. After 1819, there are two pages of entries, one family 1796–1811. Mothers' names are not recorded. There are five entries of Dissenters' children 1823–1841 after marriages for November 1783. Marriages: There are no entries October 1699–November 1736, June 1741–June 1749 and June 1752–April 1766. Record for 1736–1752 appears to be chiefly proclamations. After November 1783, there are entries of proclamation fees, embracing only the name of the bridegroom. There are no entries 1790–1841. Deaths: Morthcloth Dues until 1790, then there are no entries until 1841. Source: Key to the Parochial Registers of Scotland, by V. Ben Bloxham, pub. 1970. FHL book 941 K23b.
