Hi Everyone,
I have a copy of the baptismal register for the Relief Church in Wishaw (NAS CH3/1219/6) covering the period from late 1831 to mid 1864. I could not find several baptisms for my family connections from Cambusnethan in ScotlandsPeoples' Old Parish Registers (OPRs) until I found this resource.
If any users have missing baptisms from this parish during this period, please post here (i.e. not a private message so that others may benefit) with the child's name, the parent's names and estimated birth date. I will post the result of my search here as time permits.
I have attached an image of the first page of this register so readers can see the format and information contained therein. Later pages include a column giving the child's date of death (typically as an infant or young child).
Thanks!
David

Hi Sage,
I am sorry but I could not find any baptismal entries for this couple. I have attached two (2) PDF files containing all entries with father's surname Gibb and mother's surname Jack.

David, do you have any records of baptisms where either of the parents is an Ellis?
Many thanks, Canisp.

Hi David,
I didn't have any luck with the Gibb and Jack families but I notice others have downloaded the information too so I hope it's been useful to someone...thank you. :)
I wonder if you would have any INGLIS on your list?

Cheers, Sage.

Hi David,
That is indeed a very large body of work and one that will be a useful tool for those who research for names in the parish of Cambusnethan. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to transcribe it. :)

Hi! I am hoping you are still active on this site. After many years of searching, your index helped me find a birth record for my 2x great grandfather, Thomas Tudehope born 28 Dec 1851 (page 44, line 12). Would you be able to send me a copy of the actual record? Or, point me to where I could request it?
Thank you so much!

Good Morning "Forfarian",
The index to the register is attached to a message on page 2 of this thread. I took a quick look without any luck but perhaps I missed something.....

Apologies, David, I missed that - must have gone from Page 1 to Page 3 without realising.

Is this offer still going?
My ggg grandmother Agnes Halliday was born around 1842 Chapel, Wishaw - parents John Halliday and Elizabeth Blair Dick. Some of her siblings have been registered in Relief Church baptisms (Rev Peter Brown) but I only have her approximate birth year from census information.
She married James Leggat/Legget in 1860.
Thank you in advance!
