Pamela · Post by **Pamela** » Fri Nov 02, 2007 5:57 am

Does anyone have access to the OPR records for Dunkeld & Dundee? These baptisms are not on the IGI. I am looking for Children born to Jahn Alexander & Marina Mudie after 1810 Dundee.
Marjory Alexander& Charles Nicoll Ross after 1815 Dundee
Clementina Alexander & William Dick after 1827 Dundee or Edinburgh.
Also looking for children born to John Alexander & Elizabeth Stewart after 1784 born in Dunkeld to Dundee. There are 15 children to this couple.

I would be very grateful for any help. Cheers Pamela

Hi Pamela
Have you tried a search on Scotlands People? The IGI is not a complete index.

Have you any copies of later , post 1855, marriages for this family in Scotland - perhaps they were not Church of Scotland (the clues might be there in the post 1855 marriages) and so any births or other events will not turn up in the OPRs?

If you need to trawl through the films to check, you can order films from your local LDS centre for a small fee - about £3 these days I think. You can find your nearest centre here;

Hi Pamela

I have nothing after the parents marriages.

I'm confused now! If you have nothing after the marriages of the parents whose names you have given above, how did you work backwards to these people?

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi Lesley. Sorry to confuse. I have traced these people as they are siblings of a ancestor who I traced backwards from here in Australia. There marriages are on the IGI but I cant find any children to them. Cheers Pam

A John Alexander and Elizabeth Stewart had George 1800 and Stuart 1801.

Could this be Stuart in 1841 -

Hi Annette. Thank you. George is a new one for me.
Yes That would definatley seem to be Stuart. I knwo his wife was Alice and a son John I now have an age and birth place. There was another son Stuart so he must have been born after 1841. Many thanks for that. Would excise meam he was a tax man? Cheers Pam
