  • 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.

HELENSBURGH PREFACE In submitting the Twenty-Second Edition of the Helensburgh Directory, the Publishers trust it will merit the very liberal support and confidence which former issues have received. The re-numbering of the town from Sinclair Street east and west has occasioned an enormous amount of labour, and every care has been taken to secure accuracy. The arrangement of the present issue is similar to that of former years. The County and T>ocal Lists have again been prepared by gentlemen connected with the diflferent institutions, to whom the Publishers have to express their thanks.

We have gathered them all together here, and will add to the file as more become available. Many of the family histories are hard to find, but some are still available on the antiquarian market. Others are available as Print on Demand; while a few can be found as Google books] GUNDAROO (1972) By Errol Lea-Scarlett, tells the story of the settlement of the Township of Gundaroo in the centre of the Yass River Valley of NSW, AUS, and the families who built up the town. One was William Affleck (1836-1923) from West Wemyss, described as "Gundaroo's Man of Destiny." He was the son of Arthur Affleck, grocer at West Wemyss, and Ann Wishart, and encourged by letters from the latter's brother, John (Joseph Wiseman) Wishart, the family emigrated to NSW late in October 1854 in the ship, "Nabob," with their children, William and Mary, sole survivors of a family of 13, landing at Sydney on 15 February 1855. The above John Wishart, alias Joseph Wiseman, the son of a Fife merchant, had been convicted of forgery in 1839 and sentenced to 14 years transportation to NSW. On obtaining his ticket of leave in July 1846, he took the lease of the Old Harrow, in which he established a store - the "Caledonia" - and in 1850 added to it a horse-powered mill at Gundaroo some 18 months later. He was the founder of the family's fortunes, and from the 1860s until about 1900 the Afflecks owned most of the commercial buildings in the town.
