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 ;D
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 ;D
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 ?
