The gaps I have found in the parish register are for baptisms prior to 1707, for the surname I'm researching.

Hi Matt,
I currently have the Bythorn parish register on loan at my local LDS library and could check for entries if you like. 
And yes, I can certainly vouch for the fact that there are lots of gaps in the familysearch entries.

Hi Liz,
You sent me rushing off to my file on my friend's family to check her line from Frances, though I think I've handed over a lot of info and have just kept copies of the certificates I paid for myself.  I have the birth certificate in Melbourne in 1854 of Alexander, son of Thomas Robertson and Frances.  Their daughter Sarah Ann was my friend's grandmother.  I remember her when I was a child as a shadowy bedridden figure, but can't picture what she looked like then, though a photo is in my girlfriend's front hallway.
Best regards,
Judy

Hi Liz,
Frances is my best friend's ancestor and I have done as much as I could so far some years ago.  My friend has been to the Isle of Bute during an overseas trip, and her younger sister has also done some research. 
Like you, I tried the census microfilms at the AIGS library here in Melbourne with no success at all. While pottering on the net today (I have a day off work) I found another Frances Thurtle (her maiden name) who married a Jamieson.  The time period would be right for her to have been an aunt (or perhaps Frances' mother), but of course there may be no connection at all.  This latter Frances was quite a prolific author in the 1820's and appears to have been born in England.  I wondered if perhaps she travelled to Scotland and met her husband there.  Of course it's all speculation. 
If you would like more information, I'm very happy to share what we have.
Regards,
Judy
