It seems you may not be alone in searching for this gentleman unless the other identity is connected in some way

I am looking for the parents of Reverend George Moscrip.  He died in 1839. He was the pastor of a church at Crawford's Dyke for about 40 years.  He was married to Janet Wilson.  They had 11 children.  I am also trying to find out the names of the children.  I know of 5:  Andrew, William, Clement, George and John.

Can someone please help me.  I'm stuck.

Thank you!

Yes I think I know who this could be but not under the name Buff,we are in touch still chasing the same thing but never finding it.Do you think The Fasti would have the info I require on children from Rev George?Do you think I could get this info from National Archives via their web site.  Fiona

from what I've read of the Fasti it looks like it is more a record of the church career of the individuals concerned although I may be wrong in that as it is not a source I have had reason to pursue.

I have looked under the Presbytery of Greenock mad there is no record of a Rev Moscrip, the records for this prebytery were very poor, as if they had been lost.

I can corroborate tidybooks ... the nearest in the greenock parish is William Moscrop and there do appear to be blanks.

if you are going to view the records i suggest the txt version its much faster  to download.
