Hi All

I have a copy of 
THE REGISTERS OF BAPTISMS OF THE EPISCOPAL
CHURCH, Muthill, Perthshire. A.D. 1697-1847.
 if anyone needs a look up give me a couple of day's and I will get back to you
Yours Aye

Hi,

Thanks for your kind offer, Bruce.

I'd be interested to know if it is this church that has the baptism of Janet Sharp on 5 Jan 1756, d/o Andrew Sharp & Isobel Murray, and, if so, if there is any other information.

The IGI has 2 other children to Andrew and Isobel at Muthill - 1750 Andrew, 1753 James - but then it gets confusing as there are then 3 children to Andrew Sharp & Janet Murray (1758 William, 1761 Robert, 1764 Margaret).

If you can tell me anything to lift my confusion, I shall be most grateful!!

Hello Bruce,

Can I put in a request too?

I'm looking for a William Robertson who was born around 1785 in Muthill.

If you can find the record and the name of his parents for me please.

Thanks

Hi Jill

Here are the ones you were looking for

Andrew son of Andrew Sharp and Isobel Murray in Wester
Drummawhance born July 25. 1750

Jan. 25. Janet daughter of Andrew Sharp and Isobel Murray in
Hillhead of Machany parish of Blackford born Jan 15 1756

May 29. James son of Andrew Sharp and Janet Murray in Wester
Drummawhance born May 27. 1753

Sept. 10. William son of Andrew Sharp and Janet Murray in Billhead
of Machany parish of Blackford born 1758 (I suspect this is a spelling error and should be Hillhead of Machany)

May 31. Robert son of Andrew Sharp and Janet Murray in Woodhead
of Machany, parish of Blackford born May 28. 1761

June 13. Margaret daughter of Andrew Sharp and Janet Murray in
Woodhead of Machany, parish of Blackford born June 10. 1764

Hope this helps you

Hi Wilton

There is no William Robertson born around the time you are looking at.
There is a family in Muthil at the time: William Robertson and Rachel Ross but no William born to them.
I checked the IGI using parent search on the above still no William

Thanks for trying Bruce. It was worth a try as it said Muthill on his birth certificate. But it could have been Comrie or anywhere in Perthshire going by myself and Duncan on trying to find his relatives.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for confirming those + the extra info.

Can I ask, is the mother of James (1753) definitely down as Janet rather than Isobel?

I was thinking it looks like I need to look for a possible death for Isobel Murray c. 1757 but if James is Janet's son, then they must be 2 separate couples as the baptisms for the couples overlap.
