We’re can you find BMD records for St Paul’s Episcopal, and St Nicholas Episcopal, both Aberdeen.
Looking for George Henderson and Francis Taylor

For baptisms, I would try ScotlandsPeople.gov.uk?

BMD records (i.e. Births, Marriages and Deaths) usually refer to Civil Registrations.

Thanks but Scotland’s people don’t hold Episcopal records

[GR2]

A number of the Episcopal registers for Aberdeenshire, including St Paul's, were transcribed (or summarised) and published by A. Strath Maxwell in a series of volumes. I consulted them in the central library in Aberdeen many years ago.

It is always worth checking the Church of Scotland indexes too, as I have found several ancestors who appear in both.

Thanks for that will 👀

What was the date, please? 

According to Canmore, St Paul's episcopal church was built in the 1860s, after civil registration began.  In which case birth records ought to be available on ScotlandsPeople as statutory BMD records.

Are you looking for records prior to 1855?

The original St Paul's dated from 1721. All that's left of it is the gateway.

The Penal Laws against the Scottish Episcopal Church were only repealed in 1792.

Skoosh.
