Hi,

Can anyone help me find a William Rodger born 1798, in Bothwell in the o.p.r.'s ? His parents were William & Mary Rodger (nee Rodger). His father was a farmer.

Hello Daryl,

Perhaps William's birth wasn't registerd - I certainly can't find it on the IGI.

I see you live in Giffnock. The Mitchell library in town has films of the OPR's for the west of Scotland. They might be worth a wee browse.

Kind regards,

Hi Daryl,
The Bothwell OPRs in the IGI seem only to have the Female Births. Nope, don't know why.
So possibly, as Annette suggested a wee look at the film might show William - no guarantee though.

Hi Daryl,
I had the same problem in Berwickshire - only the females were listed and someone on this site recommended going to the local archives to look through the OPR's. I did this but unfortunately still haven't found the ancestor's birth as they didn't have to record them then. However it is worth having a look just in case. Hope you are lucky.
