New records added to Scotland's People

26/6/2017

Great news from Scotland's People this morning - 36,000 new records have been added to the website. The records include:

20,255 births and baptisms from 1744 to 1855
10,368 marriages and proclamations from 1729 to 1855
5,422 deaths and burials from 1783 to 1855

These records are all from dissenting churches that have subsequently rejoined the Church of Scotland. The Scotland's People news release doesn't explicitly state which new parishes/churches have been added, so we've prepared a handy list:

George is my husband gggrandfather born Edinburgh. Listed on his death certificate father - Robertson. he changed his name to Robinson when he came to Australia we think sometime 1834 or 1836, there have been family stories but cannot find anything to back them up.so we don't know if he came out as a remittance man or convict I have court case papers but cannot match these up as we don't know his fathers first name he also had a brother Benjamin, any help would be appreciated. thank you June
