Bonkle Church BMDs?
« on: Sunday 26 February 12 12:27 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for baptismal, marriage and burial records for the Bonkle United Presbyterian Church and its predecessor Muirkirk of Cambusnethan at Daviesdykes both located within the Parish of Cambusnethan.

I know that the National Archives of Scotland has the following records:
   CH3/1445/6   Baptismal register   1837-1852
   CH3/1445/7   Baptismal register   1861-1875

Does anyone know if any other 18th or 19th century records exist?

I have a copy of CH3/1445/6 (as above) if anyone has a missing Cambusnethan area baptism from that time period.

Thanks!

Hi David,

If the records are not with the NAS then it's very doubtful that they have survived.
I don't think the UP church at Bonkle ever had a burial ground, the parochial burial ground at Cambusnethan would have been used. I have some records for that ground, so if you post the names you are interested in, I will have a look for you. Full names and maiden surnames please.
