Paul asked > 1. If his birth/baptism was registered by the Session Clerk, why wasn't it > in the Parish Register? Could it be that there was a page missing or an obliterated entry. He'd need to look at the period 13 Aug 1851 to 25 Aug 1851 > 2. Was John Carmichael a minister of one of the Campbeltown churches in > 1851? As he has access to the LDS records a look at the 1851 Campbeltown Census would confirm whether there was a Rev John Carmichael at the time. If he has a copy of the 'baptism certificate' could he please e-mail it to me.
