    1. [WIG LIST] dissenters in the 18th century
    2. J Blain

    3. Hi all, According to the first statistical account, there were a fair number of dissenters around in parts of Wigtownshire. In Inch parish, 'the number of Seceders, young and old, may be stated at 240' - this is a parish of only '1450 souls'! These could possibly (the Inch ones, I mean) belong to the Stranraer Associate Session... does anybody know if there are any records from this or other seceder/dissenter congregations? My Inch people have a very strange gap in births between approx the 1750s to 1770s - there seems to be a whole missing generation in more than one family. They then reappear, getting marriages registered, and some, though not all, births. Jenny

    3. Hi Stranraer Museum Archives hold records of the Stranraer Associate Session with births from 1811 -1845 and one entry in 1849. Marriages from 1812-1836 and 1839-1845. Another volume has births 1839-1881. From memory there is also a death register. Visits by appointment only. Best wishes Ian A McClumpha Need help with your Scottish Family History research?
