Church of Scotland Widow's and Orphan's Fund Records at the NAS
« on: Sunday 09 June 13 16:16 BST (UK) »
Hi

Has anyone ever looked at these records? Anyone able to give some hints or tips on what I will be able to find?

I'm trying to get details for what happened to the family of Rev Robert Mathie of Glendevon following his death in 1789 ie where they went after they had to leave the Manse - would the Widow's and Orphan's Fund give me details of where annuities/pensions were paid to etc?

Regards
