    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.

The publication of “ In Memoriam ” is designed to preserve, in a more permanent form that can otherwise be accomplished, some account of those citizens and others whose deaths have occurred in or near the city during the year; also, of Aberdonians who have died at other places. Such a record, we believe, may be of interest not only to residents and Aberdonians in all parts of the globe, but also to those who have at one time been connected with the city. It is necessary to state that “ In Memoriam ” (which we intend to publish annually) is not a complete register, but a compilation from the obituaries of the newspapers published from the offices of the Aberdeen Journtd and Daily Free Press. In abbreviating the biographical notices we have endeavoured to retain what will be of most general interest. WILLIAM CAY & SONS. Aberdeen, Januaryt 1891. 1890] OBITUARY.
