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.
