Fetteresso, Stonehaven look-up please

[Rosinish]

Hi,

Can anyone do a look-up for Baptisms in the nearest church to Market Square, Fetteresso please.

My ggg g/dad was living at that location when my gg g/dad & his brother were born but I have search SP & Family Search & came up empty handed.

David Morris Hogg b Kincardine Feb/Mar 1840 (aged 4m in 1841)
John Hogg b Kincardine c 1836 (aged 4 in 1841)

Parents James Hogg & Ann Robinson

In this case I'm the weakest link 

Regards,

A. M.

If baptism records for these boys are not on SP or Family Search, there probably won't be any record. For safe-keeping the OPR books are at the General Records Office in Edinburgh, so a look-up in the church is not an option.

The census says that the boys were born in the county of Kincardine - not necessarily the parish of Fetteresso where they were on census night - so I looked to see if they might have been baptised in another Kincardineshire parish. However I don't see any baptisms for those names.

Hi Isabel,

I guess I was hoping for a miracle. I suppose when we hit brick walls like this you just want to make sure that you have done all you can but hold on to that wee glimmer of hope 

Regards & thanks for your efforts,

A. M.

Baptismal Register of St James's Episcopal Church in Stonehaven has this entry for 2 October 1838:

Hogg: James had a son baptised John. Witnesses John (illegible but may begin with L) and John Hogg

I could not find an entry for baptism of James

Hi jlmc,

Don't know how I missed this ?
Thank you very much, that sure looks like the oldest son (John) who may have been named after his grandad?
I haven't found John's brother David Morris/Maurice. Their mother was Ann Robinson & her father was Thomas so I don't know who David was named after & it doesn't carry on down the line...neither David or Morris ?
