Selkirk Parish, 1770. Illigitimate child, I can see the record (attached), I can see the 10 shilling fine being paid (not attached), and the record that hes satisified the kirk, but how do I find out the childs name. I can find no record in the BMDs for Selkirk, Yarrow, or Ettrick, no sign of a death for the child, and have absolutely no idea who it was. None of the family illigitimates for the late 1700s had names, and there were at least 5.
Any clues gratefully received.
