Peter Johnston bapt. Feb 11, 1855 Old Meldrum

[janicejo]

One of my distant relatives had written that our great-grandfather Peter Johnston was baptized 11 Feb 1855 in Old Meldrum. He was born June 29, 1854 (in Fyvie I believe). In the Free Congregation. I'd really like a full transcription of the baptism record, or where I can find it myself. Thanks, Janice

according to everything I see on Scotland's people website, baptism records only go up to the end of 1854. My great grandfather was baptized in 1855.

You are right, from 1855 it is birth records shown in the statutory registers, if you haven't done so it would be well worth looking up his birth record in 1854 anyway.

If the Old Meldrum baptism was at the Free Church, then it doesn't look like any records exist https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Old_Meldrum,_Aberdeenshire,_Scotland
