Hello,
My first question , is the Kincardine of Doune parish the same location as the Blair drummond church?
The records I have of Duncan Mcarthur m. Margt Sawns in 1779 had 10 children from 1780 to 1803.
The end of each birth record has the town or settlement where they were living .
Can Craigfranky and Burliston be found on some old map ?
Also can you tell me more about the Blair Drummond Moss Census of 1814 ? and see if there is a George Taylor
in it. Thank you so much for your time. Dave

Hi Dave, welcome to Rootschat :)
Firstly the parish of Kincardine can be seen on this map (it's green). It does cover Blair Drummond.

Can Craigfranky and Burliston be found on some old map ?
The National Library of Scotland has a great collection of maps from various eras available online, so they can probably be found eventually, though the names may not be exactly as you have them.
Are they are both places in Kincardine Parish?
With regards to the 1814 census you may find this page useful:

Hi Kristy,
The links that you send me are great, thank you so much.
At the end of each christening records on microfilm they have given a towns name of where that child was born.
Your link has given me a 1745 Perthshire map that shows Craigfranky just north of Thornhill .
The 1814 census did not turn up anything for me, maybe because George Taylor and Ann Mcarthur was not married
until 1816. But many family names in the census like Mcfarlane, McNaughton and Steward may be the same families
that settled in Puslinch , Ontario, Canada asking for a land grant from the Crown as my family did.
Thank you again. Dave
