Hi,

There is a problem with the location that is reported on the above baptisms. The search results report the location as 'Kinkell, Aberdeenshire, Scotland'.

When in fact, the location is Kinkell Associate (Non conformist) Trinity Gask, Perthshire, Scotland.

I believe many of the entries on this register have been incorrectly identified as being in Kinkell Aberdeenshire. So it is leading to some confusion for researchers.

Here are the correct entries from Scotland's People.-

TAYLOR

ELIZABETH

JOHN TAYLOR/CHRISTIAN DONALDSON

Birth 13 NOVEMBER 1766

Baptism 16 NOVEMBER 1766

KINKELL ASSOCIATE, TRINITY GASK, PERTH, SCOTLAND

and

TAYLOR

LILLIUS

JOHN TAYLOR/CHIRSTIAN DONALDSON

Birth 20 APRIL 1769

Baptism 30 APRIL 1769

KINKELL ASSOCIATE, TRINITY GASK, PERTH, SCOTLAND


Thank you for checking into this.

    We report these in the Search category here on Community. I will use the little Flag to ask a moderator to move it there for you.

    This specific record is only the transcription, no image, so you cannot edit it: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYGC-YP1

    Thank you very much for flagging this. There seems to be problems with the baptism entries in a lot of the Kinkell Associate Church transcriptions. I have reported another error previously, of a missing entry from the same filming, but it has not been addressed yet.

    Your help is truly appreciated! Many thanks
