    1. [BUT] Missing records
    2. Peter, thank you for answering my question concerning whether these were records recorded at St. Bride's Church at Lochranza or at the Kilmory church on the south end of the island. I have not ever really understood why the records for the Sannox farms located in the Kilbride district were recorded at the Kilmory church of St. Bride's. Perhaps it had to do with how far the nearest church was for members. Another mystery is why was my ancestor Archibald McKillop, schoolmaster at Lochranza, recording baptisms, a job done by the catichist. It seems that the churches were not able to keep the positions filled? I cannot believe that a whole book of records was lost!!!!! I wonder if anyone has checked the cave where the church met while the dispute over pastor was going on or maybe in the attic of Rev. McMillan. Wishful thinking. A more productive question might be who was the higher authority that these parishes answered to on the mainland and whether the missing book was turned over to a mainland church. Peter, I still do not know the difference between the records shown as "Kilmory" and "Kilmory, Shiskine, Lochranza." Any thoughts? Linda
