St. Andrews by the Green was an Episcopal Church, so its records would not have been included in the Old Parish Registers. The Glasgow City Archives ( in the Mitchell Library building) hold the vicar's handwritten record of all the baptisms he performed. I can't remember the date range of that notebook, but it did include births in the 1770's. The archives were in the process of digitising the St Andrews on the Green records. There is a brief mention of the assistance being given by GWSFHS at http://www.gwsfhs.org.uk/content/gcaprojects.aspx Your best bet is to contact Glasgow City Archives. Their details are at http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Residents/Library_Services/The_Mitchell/Archives/churcharchives.htm I hope this helps Kind Regards, Iain McKenzie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gay Fielding" <gayze@tpg.com.au> To: <lanark@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 2:20 PM Subject: [Lanark] St Andrews By the Green >I understand from Mitchell Library, that St Andrew's by the Green have a > record of a christening on 10 Jan 1808 of John CAMPBELL, son of John > Campbell soldier of 71st regiment.. > > I have searched Scotlandspeople with my remaining credits and there is no > record of this birth. > > The Mitchell told me that they .hold early baptism records that do not > appear within the Old Parish Registers and they have compiled a database > of > these. > > Is there any way I can get a copy of this particular birth/christening?.. > Thanks a lot > Gay.. > > > ------------------------------- > > LANARK, SCOTLAND MAILING LIST > > > LIST TOPIC: The discussion and research of genealogy or history > information pertaining to Lanark, Scotland at any point in its history. > > WHEN REPLYING to any list post please remember to snip most of the earlier > message before you post any reply > > LIST INFORMATION PAGE: Contact the List Admin at > lanark-admin@rootsweb.com; or to search the list archives, get information > on subscribing or unsubscribing, or to obtain other useful information to > help you use the list more effectively, please click on the following link > to the list information page online: > > http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/SCT/LANARK.html > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > LANARK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message >

Thank you Iain, I'm sorry I've taken so long to reply to you....I chased up the websites you gave me, and got sidetracked by various bits of information I found, hoping it would lead me somewhere. No luck there, I'm afraid.. Since GWFHS may not have finished the digitising, I will follow your advice and go directly to the Glasgow City Archives..and hope they will help me with a copy of his handwritten notes... Thanks heaps Gay
