Hi

I am looking for death records prior to 1855 for Campbeltown and Southend parishes.

I read somewhere (cant remember ) that there is a microfiche with these on it, is this true or have i started imagining things !!!

Hi David,

According to the following webpage, the Mitchell Library holds the OPRs for Argyll, which would include Campbeltown.
