Research Notes

I have not purchased or viewed most actual BMD records, relying solely upon the Scotlandspeople indices. George Shepherd's 1759 birth registration is an exception. More often than not, the record itself for older church registrations provides little more than what is shown in the index. My choices have basically relied upon the Scottish given name convention for the naming of children and the birth locations of the offspring. Birth dates may actually be christening date; marriage dates, actually reading of the bans; and death dates, actually the burial date.

MARRIAGE: Scotlandspeople Old Parish Registers - Marriages has 18 hits in all Scotland, 3 in Banffshire, 1 in Morayshire using: Shepherd, phonetic Isabel, spouse's name blank, 1780-1804. (Isabel would have been 16 in 1780; 40 in 1804.)

DEATH: Scotlandspeople Old Parish Registers - Deaths has 35 hits in all Scotland, 3 in Banffshire, 2 in Morayshire using: Shepherd, phonetic Isabel, 1764-1864. (Finding death registration could be conditional of knowing if she married.)
