N.B. There is a blank in this record of baptisms from 1712-1731 - the entries from the latter date will be found among the proclamations for the same period.

For three entries of Baptisms 1711-12, see after Marriages for April 1710

Records from 1731 forward appear to be part of the kirk session records; see the marriages page for these records
