Baptism Lookup Farr Sutherlandshire Scotland please
« on: Friday 02 April 10 14:39 BST (UK) »
Seeking a Baptismal lookup please for a Isabella DOUGLAS ~ 1824 daughter of John and Nelly (Helen) DOUGLAS. Area is Farr, Sutherlandshire in Scotland. I have checked the IGI without result but I know the area and time is pretty accurate. Perhaps the IGI has not been done for that area?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Rob

Scottish baptisms are on the Scotlandspeople website.  You have to pay for credits on that, but it's worth it if you have much Scottish information to find.
Godden in East Sussex, mainly Hastings area.
Richards in Lea, Gloucestershire, then London.
Williamson in Leith, Vickers in Nottingham.
Webb in Bildeston and Colchester.
Wesbroom in Kirby le Soken.
Ellington in Harwich.
Park, Palmer, Segar and Peartree in Kersey.

Hi Rob

The Batches for Farr for that time are online. I've just checked on the Hugh Wallis site:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/

Also there are some baptisms of children of John and Helen.

Rob,  you're on two different threads here! my God, your folk are away out in the stix! Klibreck, 3 miles north of the summit of the mountain of that name, at the head of Loch Naver, next to Aultnaharra. They were probably hill shepherds from the Borders, brought in post the Sutherland Clearances. Douglas would certainly fit that, although there are folk if that name in Easter Ross. There is a Tomich in Easter Ross and a Coignafearn in Inverness-shire! are you sure they are in Farr? Coig, a fifth part, of the Alders in this case.....Skoosh.

Hi Skoosh,

I am pretty sure they were all places in Sutherlandshire in the 1840s but have any of the borders changed in that time? That may explain the disparity??

Cheers, Rob

Judging from these searches there is no record of Isabella's birth in 1824 yet I feel sure she must have been born/baptised there!

Are there any known gaps in these records? Are there any other back up indexes in which I should search?

Thanks,
Rob
