The more I try to trace my family, and finding that there is no record of their births, anywhere in Scotland.
I have come to the conclusion that a lot of the ones I cannot find at the time I am looking at, would have been catholic, and would never have paid the money to register ther’ weans in a protestant parish kirk.
What are your thoughts on this?

This irregularity in the Session Records is owing to the Roman Catholics refusing to pay the Dues of their Baptisms until they were prosecute before a Justice of Peace Court, which was done in the 5th of September, 1801 and a Decree obtained against them on the 12th of said month. Some other regularities with respect to late proceeding this were owing to the same cause."
