Hello Listers,
I have a marriage of James Crichton & Janet Kidd in Kinnoull, Perthshire on
the 11th June 1809.
I have found two births for this couple.
Margaret born 22 July 1809 {that was close}
at Miln of Queich, Perth.
Janet born about 1813 at Kinnoull, Perth.
I have searched maps and a parish locater but cannot find
Miln of Queich.
Anybody know where this place is?
Thanks Geoff

Hi Lorraine,
I have a William CLOW that married a Janet ROBERTSON at Muthill on Sep
23, 1849. Many of this CLOW family are shown as having been born or
died in Blackford, so I am assuming it is close to Muthill. (I am still
very confused about this parish VS town thing. Why wouldn't a parish be
in the same town of it's name?) Do you have any Janet's?
Thanks.

Dear Listers, I would like to add my tuppence worth to the Robertson
enquiries that have been happening recently. I have a Jane (or Jean)
Robertson marrying Alexander McLagan in Blairgowrie on 3rd December 1837. I
have pored through the Old Parish Register and found the wedding entry,
listing no parents, and went further back hoping to find a birth of Jean
Robertson, or Jane, but there were too many born about 1820, when I guessed
she would have been born. The IGI CD Rom only lists one possibility. I

Hello Janet,
You won't find many entries in the IGI newer than 1875. In addition most of
Perthshire has been omitted from the online version - for some reason noone
is quite sure of.
Errol is indeed a parish. It sits about half way between Dundee and Perth.
Longforgan is closer to Dundee.
Civil Registration began in 1855.
For obtaining post 1875 certificates you would be best going to the
Registrar General in Edinburgh. However if you are going to be researching
a lot in this area I would suggest loo

Hi, Kay -
I would be interested in having more information on your Archibald Menzies,
shepherd, age 70, d 1855 in Parish of Dull. I believe he could be the
grandfather of my ggrandfather, John Menzies, b 1830 to Alexr and Christian
McNaughton Menzies. If Arch had a son Alex, this would convince me. Without
going to Family History Center, I cannot be sure but would appreciate any
info you might pass on.
Season's greetings to you!
