Subject: [EDB] Churches in Edinburgh

As there is some knowledgeable discussion of Edinburgh
churches on the list at the moment I wondered whether anyone
could explain the following entries to me. They are in the
St Cuthbert's register but relate to a different church it
seems and are in the register many years after the original
births and baptisms. Why would this be so?


In the register of Births and Baptisms for St Cuthbert's,
Edinburgh, Scotland for April 1831, under 11 April:

"John Borthwick, Portrait Painter, Residing in Brown Street,
and Isabella Chisholm, his Spouse, had a Daughter Born on
24th August 1823. Named May Chisholm. Baptized on the 28th
September thereafter by the Reverend Dr James Hall, Minister
of the United Associate Secession Congregation of Broughton
Place.

John Borthwick, Portrait Painter, Residing in Arthur Street,
and Isabella Chisholm, his Spouse, had a Son Born on 11th
July 1825. Named John Robert. Baptized on the Ninth October
thereafter by the Reverend Dr James Hall, Minister of the
United Associate Secession Congregation of Broughton Place."

This is followed by an affidavit signed by John Borthwick
and witnessed by Jas Patison JP.

Has anyone else seen this before? And what was the "United
Associate Secession Congregation of Broughton Place."
