missing OPRs from Killin?

[valr]

I remember reading somewhere that certain OPRs from Killin were lost or destroyed - and I think that may be the reason I have hit a brick wall in my rsearch. Does anyone happen to know about this ie which records are missing and why?
Thanks!

The Killin baptisms run from 1689 to 1854.and the marriages from 1687 to 1854. However, this is not to say that they run continously from these dates.  I remember reading a book which gave details of the gaps for each parish but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called.
Does anyone know ?

Thanks for the reply Isles... the gap is I know some time in the 18th century ...
Heres hoping someone knows!

The LDS website does hold some information on the parish records, but it is buried! I have come across a few but only ever by googling, not going through the main site. It is some kind of Research Wiki.

Found it!

Maybe this was the book mentioned by Isles? It is the source for the wiki data.

"Key to the Parochial Registers of Scotland, by V. Ben Bloxham, pub. 1970"


Hope this helps.

Hi Kenny
is that the library at the top of king St?

[monks13]

That's the one val.
It's actually on the Corn Exchange come up either King st or from the Albert hall end, and it is at the top of the hill . It's handy as well because the council Registrar's office for births deaths and marriages is across the road,
although you need to make an appointment to see them.

Thanks Kenny. Is there car parking nearby?  I suppose I could always park near the Albert halls and actually WALK up the hill!
I have never been to a Registrar other than to register something - so I dont know what info they can provide - how far back do the records go and is there a search fee do you know?
Have you been to the archives at Viewforth?
