Alyth United Presbyterian Church, Marriages 1833-1863 and Baptisms 1781-1860
Alyth United Presbyterian church was formed by members of the congregation of Rattray who lived in Alyth, as the church of Rattray was four miles away. The General Associate (Antiburger) Presbytery in Perth was petitioned in 1781 and congregation was granted the same year. Taken from the Registers held in the National Records of Scotland (Reference CH3/15), the Marriage register starts in November 1833 and gives names of both parties and residence. The Baptism register starts in November 1781 and gives the name of the child, parents’ names, residence and date of birth. Comments can include whether the child was illegitimate.
