Alan, this is a wonderful site - thanks so much for pointing me to it. Hugh Wallis deserves a very big "Thank You!!!" for making it available!

Scroll down until you find Edinburgh. Under that you will find Saint Cuthbert's Parish listed. There are a series of batch numbers with year ranges. "C" listings are for birth/christenings and "M" listings are marriages. If you select one of those batches it will list all the births or marriages in that year range. Each of those batches is searchable by surname. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyMi dlothian.htm Alan
