What records survive do look to be included on the Scotlands People databases www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/guides/church-registers

Some baptisms and burials for Ecclefechan Free Church are on SP. Limited coverage though.

No Banns/Marriages.

Go to Church Registers -> other churches.

Hi

the records you need are held in the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Country code   GB
Repository code   234
Repository   National Records of Scotland
Reference   CH3/109
Title   Records of Ecclefechan Free Church / Ecclefechan East United Free Church / Ecclefechan United Free Church / Ecclefechan Church of Scotland / Hoddam Church of Scotland
Dates   1843-1973
Access status   Open
Location   On site
Description   (Later East United Free Church)
Level   Fonds
Admin history   The congregation of Ecclefechan Free Church was established in 1843 at the time of the disruption and by October of that year as many as 800 adherents to the Free Church were attending service. The charge was sanctioned in 1845. In the beginning, the Ecclefechan congregation met in temporary wooden accommodation however a stone church was erected in later years. In 1900, following the union of the United Presbyterians and the Free Church, Ecclefechan Free Church was renamed Ecclefechan East United Free Church, however in 1915 Ecclefechan East United Free was united with the congregation of Ecclefechan West United Free, under the name of Ecclefechan. The charge of Ecclefechan Free Church and of East United Free sat within the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Lockerbie and later of Annandale.

Hope this helps
