Title: Knockando Parish?
Post by: J11 on Sunday 08 January 12 11:13 GMT (UK)
Was Knockando always an independent parish?  I am looking for anything on SP pre-1760 and the parish is not appearing on the Moray list.  Would that be because there are no records due to the fire or that the parish was part of another in the mid-18thC?

Yes it was, and the destruction of the registers in the fire is the reason why the earlier records no longer exist.

The very reason why I've run into several brick walls there, mainly:

James Grant (Mason) married Margaret Rhind (Rayne?), he might have come from Aberlour, family born at Knockando from 1793
James McKandie and Anne Bell who married there in 1785 and had family there

I have ancestors from Knockando called Thomson.  Isobel Thomson b: 8 Sept 1793.  Parents were William Thomson and Anne McDonald.
