Following are Bairnie Tillydesk Episcopal Church records:
I'm hoping they may be of help to someone. We do have further information on some of these people.
If anyone has any connections to any of these people could they please contact me as our ancestors are amongst them but we are trying to link some of the others in these records.
Thankyou
