Dear Listers - I made copies of baptismal records from Bathgate, so I will periodically transcribe as best I can, and send to all of you in case I find one you need! So here goes...but here is my disclaimer - this was HARD to read! If you see an entry that you think might read something else, I would be happy to offer a reinterpretation or more for you! And for those who may know the REAL name of a location I totally messed up, please control your laughter. Geography is not my forte! This is the order: Name of Child, Sex, Father's Name, Mother's Name, Employment/Profession, Date and Place of Birth - Parish, Town or Street, Date of Baptism and by whom Dispensed (in all cases to follow it was Alec B.
