I am researching descendants of James Arnot & Janet Mitchell (or Mittchill) who married 1743 Trinity Gask Perthshire, Their children - James 1748; Janet 1751: William 1753: Thomas 1755 were all born/christened at Trinity Gask whilst Alexander 1760 & Patrick 1762 were b/c at Madderty Perthshire. Research indicates mother Janet Mitchell (Mittchill) was herself b/c at Madderty dau of John Mitchell (Mittchill) but her mother name not shown on Madderty OPR, I am looking to prove up the marriage 25 April 1790 Madderty (OPR M1123782) of a Peter Arnot to a Mary Campble (Campbell) was Patrick Arnot b/c 1762 Madderty.s/o James Arnot/Janet Mitchell (Mittchill). Would appreciate list comment whether the first name PATRICK is/was usually interchangeable in local Perthshire/Scottish usage as PETER. thanks, Rex Arnott, Tasmania.

In Scottish church records, I have found individuals recorded sometimes as Peter and sometimes as Patrick, so he could well be your man. M Robinson.
