EDITED BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLEKK. EDINBURGH : PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY. 1899. EDINBURGH '. PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER AND COMPANY. PREFATORY NOTE. This volume completes the Index to this Commissariot, so far as it is proposed by the Society to print the same. It includes all Testaments recorded before 31st December 1800. The remainder of the Record down to 31st December 1829 is in the General Register House, but from that date to the present day it will be found at the Commissary Office. The Register for the Eighteenth Century shows a considerable falling away in the number of Testaments recorded, due to some extent to the Local Registers being more taken advantage of On the other hand, a number of Testaments of Scotsmen dying in England, the Colonies, and abroad are to be found. The Register for the years following on the Union of the Parliaments is one of melancholy interest, containing as it does, to a certain extent, the death-roll of the ill-fated Darien Expedition. The ships of the Scottish Indian and African Company mentioned in " " " " the Record are the Caledonia," Rising Sun," Unicorn," Speedy " " " Return," Olive Branch," Duke of Hamilton (Walter Duncan, Skipper), " " " " Dolphin," St. Andrew," Hope," and Endeavour." ®Ij^ C0mmtssari0t ^ttoxi oi ®5tnburglj.

Copyright 1989 by Martha & Bill Reamy Printed in the U.S.A. Published 1989 by FAMILY LINE PUBLICATIONS INTRODUCTION Every effort has been made to achieve accuracy in this project, but interpreting the enumerator's hand-written material has posed problems. As an aid to deciphering many poorly written and misspelled names, the "Wood's Baltimore City Directory, 1861" was consulted. When an entry was found in the Directory where the first name and occupation agreed with the Census listing and the surname appears to be similar, the City Directory spelling was added in brackets in the text and added to the index. The original enumeration at the National Archives was consulted for all proofreading. The enumerator took great liberties in the spelling of surnames. Sometimes when an entry for a household carried over from one page to another the enumerator changed the spelling of the surname. We have retained both spellings in this book. Surnames were occasionally spelled phonetically, e.g. the name written as Knobloch in the Baltimore City Directory appears as Noblock in the census. The user is cautioned to check the index for all possible variations. In some sections it is obvious that the information was transcribed from the original record column by column rather than across the page, line by line, with frequent misalignment of the data on a particular line.

  • November 2017 Magazine of Giffnock South Parish Church
    November TheThe SentinelSentinel 2017 Volume 55 No 8 Have you got your poppy? Magazine of Giffnock South Parish Church REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY is on November 12th and the morning service will commence at 10.55am. Afterwards there will be a brief service and the laying of a wreath at the war memorial at the foot of Greenhill Avenue (pictured). Reappraisal 2017 - the Treasurer, Iain Grimmond writes…... I am delighted to report that once again the congregation of Giffnock South have risen to the challenge of Reappraisal and shown their usual generosity. To date gifts totalling £25,392 have been received, which, together with the tax recoverable under Gift Aid of £5,069, gives a total of £30,461 – a tremendous response by over 240 members. In addition, many new standing orders will increase our regular income next year. This will enable us to continue to meet our financial commitments for another year, keeping Giffnock South at the heart of our community as well as playing our full part in all the work of the Church of Scotland. Thanks are due to everyone who responded, to the Elders who visited their Districts and to Jan, Alistair Park and the Finance Committee for all their preparatory work. You may well attend the church every Sunday but you will never have seen this view of the complicated pipework underneath - until now - as Sentinel reveals to you here and on page 7 what is there - with an enlightening description by our long--suffering Fabric Convener, Willie Dunbar. Page 2 There are two items which, to our mind, need emphasising, the first is the launch of ‘Sing Well’ because singing is good for you and everybody can sing.

  • Register of Baptisms Sept 1838 to Mar 1848
    This index to the Register of Baptisms for St Nicholas parish in Aberdeen from September 1838 to March 1848 contains details of around 5,000 people. The information contained in this index shows the date of baptism, the name and occupation (where noted) of the father, the name of the mother, and name and sex of the child where it may not be immediately obvious. Further information in the Register includes the names of witnesses. The names have been transcribed as written, so some may not conform to modern spellings. A quirk of binding means that the book begins at page 55, with page 1 coming after page 352. This means there are two different pages numbered between 55 and 268, with different entries. In this index, please note the page number of the index as well as the page number of the entry - if the entry you are interested in is after page number 51, the entry will be in the second part of the volume. If it is before page 51 of this index, it will be in the first part of the volume. If you would like to know the full entry, please make a note of the names of the people concerned, and the page number of the entry then email [email protected] with your query. Our thanks go to volunteer Christina Leech for the monumental effort in transcribing this volume.
