Are there parish records for Whitburn, Linlithgowshire in the 19th century?

Question

I'm currently working on my ancestors and associated families who lived in Whitburn, Linlithgowshire, Scotland (now part of West Lothian) - a whole lot of them came out to Australia in the 1850s and proceeded to the South Coast of NSW where they tended to marry their own cousins, but that's another story. Associated surnames include: Mathie, Russell, and Bryce.

It seems that the parish records for Whitburn aren't available online for the first half of the 19th century - does anyone know if there is a source available for any of these records, or if they were lost?

Answer 1

Hi Kathleen the parish records for Whitburn from 18th century are available online at Scotlands People https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

I found reading your profile for James Bryce  (Bryce-681) particularly interesting as I live on a farm near Hens Nest Road in East Whitburn !!

Thanks Maria, I've found some things from the 18th Century but I'm particularly looking for the first half of the 19th Century. :)
