I have a list of the records and dates of BMDs available for the different parishes. What dates are we talking roughly ? Old Parish Registers which have survived ( can be borrowed from the Mormon Church) Inveravon B 1630 - 1854 M 1630 - 1854 D 1636 - 1783 and 1844-1854 They sometimes give extra details which aren't in the IGI such as the sponsor of the illegit child and place names. After 1855 we are into Statutory Register which is on Scotlanspeople. Grrrrrrrrr. Glenlivet A fine whisky !! What parish is this ?? And if he was illegit he should still be in there.Could also try the Kirk session minutes as his parents may have been fined for fornictaion and recorded!
