William, It is quite common for the Parish Kirk Session minutes to record cases where they disciplined parishioners found guilty of fornication where an illegitimate child was born while the baptism of the child would not be recorded in the Old Parish Records and thus not in the IGI. Most of the Kirk Session minutes which have survived are held in the Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh but are not available on line.Similarly RC parish records (copies of which are held in these Archives) contain data not transcribed for inclusion in the IGI. If you let me have details of the individuals and parishes involve I will try to trace them on my next visit to the Archives hopefully towards the end of May Sandy Archibald Edinburgh ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Innes" <w.innes@sympatico.ca> To: <MORAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 7:50 PM Subject: [MORAY] Sluggan Thank to everyone who helped me find out about “SLUGGAN”. What we found out was that in the early 1800’s the building in question was named Sluggan and later, about 1825 was changed to Claggan and Upper Claggan. The 1881 Census shows it as Claggan in the community of Glenlivet. My next queery also concerns a ‘proverbial brick wall’. Can anyone tell me if there are any other birth records available, other than the IGI. I have a feeling that my ancestor may have been an illegitimate child and was wondering if there are any such records for either Inveravon or Glenlivet.

Sandy, If it is not too much trouble I would be grateful if you could check the Kirk records for Forres for mention of the following christenings. 1. Margaret Slorach (my great grandmother) bap 20 Mar 1925, illegitimate daughter of George Slorach and Ann Taylor 2. Ann Slorach bap 28 Nov 1828 illegitimate daughter of George Slorach and Ann Taylor 3. Robert Slorach bap 28 Nov 1828 illegitimate son of George Slorach and Christian Frazer Note that Ann and Robert were baptised in the same church on the same day but they had different mothers. If it is the same George Slorach in all three cases then the Kirk records should be interesting! However, there were two men named George Slorach living in Forres about that time.
