Hi All
I had a quick look on Scotland's people this morning at the lord for the surname Roy from their database you get from memory 1048 hits.
The earliest I found was 1639 and most of the early ones are from West Perthshire bounded by Kenmore to auchterarder methven and frustration I will have another look once I have finished shopping with she who must be obeyed.

Yours Aye

Hi All

I had another look at the OPRs with the surname "ROY" and it shows some interesting snippets.

In Scotland there are 4145 Births/baptisms listed and almost a quarter of them1049 are in Perthshire,2228 Banns/marriages  552 are in Perthshire
The most of the earliest ones mid 17th Century are from the parish of Kenmore.
The earliest birth in Crieff is a Duncan Roy 21st July 1700
The Earliest in Fowlis Wester is a John Roy born 15th June 1675
The Earliest in Kenmore is a Christian Roy born 3rd July 1636

All the above information was taken from www.scotlandspeople.gv.uk
