 Here you will find Scottish Records including birth, marriage, and christening records from various parts of Scotland that may help you with your research. ---------- 1791 - 1800 Scots
Origins at
(http://www.scotsorigins.com) is the online searchable database of the Government Records
Office of Scotland (GROS). Through Scots
Origins it is
possible to search an index of the many records available to the public through the GROS,
including the Old
Parish Registers [OPR]
from
1553-1854, the Statutory
Index of Births, Marriages and Deaths from its
inception in 1855 to 1899, and the 1891 Census of Scotland. Although the actual records
are not available online and must be requested via snail-mail, access to the index does
provide the McWh*rter researcher with a wonderful tool for locating real and possible
ancestors in a convenient manner. Using the index I decided to find
out just how many McWh*rters were contained in the OPR and Statutory records, what
spellings of the surname appear to have been recorded and where in Scotland the names were
recorded at various times. I will relate the McWh*rters I found recorded in the Old Parish Registers of Scotland to 1800. Readers should take note that the
dates listed for each event (birth, death, christening, marriage, etc). are often the
dates the events were recorded rather than when they occurred. Furthermore, the data
related here is only that which is available from the index. Further info concerning each
event may well be found from an examination of the original records. |
EDINBURGH (1600-1700) The earliest record I could
find for McWh*rter
in
the Scots Origins Index for the Old Parish Registers was for the christenings of two sons
of a “Johnne
McQuhorter” and
his wife, “Bessie
Robesone”
recorded in the Registration District of Edinburgh. On
19-Oct-1600 their son “Gilbert” was
christened and on 2-Dec-1600 a son “Johnne” was also
christened. Less than a decade later, also in
the Registration District of Edinburgh, there occurred 16-Jul-1609 the christening of a
“Johne
McWharter”, son
of “George
McWharter” &
“Elspaith
Hammiltoun”. What the connection may have been
between the “McQuhorters” and
“McWharters” of
early 17th century Edinburgh I do not know. The Old Parish Register records shed no
further light on the question as the next McWh*rter record in the index occurs in 1648 and
comes from Ayrshire. Indeed, the only other 17th
century McWh*rter record I could find for Edinburgh or vicinity is the 18-Oct-1664
christening of “Agnes
McQuhatter”,
daughter of “Duncan
McQuhatter” &
“Catherine
Short”. Whether the McWh*rters of early
Edinburgh were descendants of Ayrshire families or separate families altogether cannot be
discerned from Old Parish Registers. __________ Aside from the 3 entries of
Edinburgh ALL the rest of the McWh*rter entries in the Old Parish Registers prior to 1700
are from southwest Scotland (Ayrshire or Kirkcudbrightshire) in the Registration Districts
of Kirkmichael, Straiton, Dalmellington, Ayr, Loudoun, Ochiltree, Dailly, Minnigaff, Sorn and Barr. ____________ KIRKMICHAEL (1648-1700) In the Parish of Kirkmichael
there
is recorded 4-Jun-1648 the marriage of “Marjorie
McQuhirter” &
“John
Kennedie”. There must have been a good sized
McWh*rter “clan” already in Kirkmichael by the mid-17th century because on
4-Jan-1649 “John
McWhirter” son of
“David
McWhirter” was
christened there; followed on 10-Nov-1650 by “Margarat
McQuater”,
daughter of “Gilbert
McQuater”; on
15-Feb-1652 “Johne
McQuater” son of
“Johne
McQuater”; and,
on 27-Mar-1653 “Johne
McQuatter” son of
“James
McQuatter”. The variety of spellings that are
evident even in the records of a single parish suggest that there was no CORRECT spelling
for the surname in 17th century Kirkmichael, or perhaps different recorders simply did
their best phonetically with a surname that never had much occasion to be spelled
until
parish records began to be kept. Only a few other Kirkmichael
records
appear until the beginning of the 18th century [unless I haven’t found them yet]. On
25-Feb-1655 “James
McQuater”, son
of “John
McQuater” was
christened in Kirkmichael and on 7-Oct-1655 occurred the christening of “Helen
McQuater”,
daughter of “James
McQuater”. On
13-Sep-1663 there took place the christening of “Georg
McQuater”, son of
“John
McQuater”. No other McWh*rter records for
Kirkmichael prior to 1700 could be located except for the marriage of “Janet
McWhorter” to
“John
Goudy” on
29-Aug-1697. Whether the absence of McWh*rter
records in Kirkmichael for over 30 years is indicative of their actual absence from
Kirkmichael or merely missing records I do not know. __________ STRAITON (1649-1700) The largest group of McWh*rters
in 17th century Ayrshire is found at Straiton. The earliest
record is that of the 15-Jul-1649 christening of “Peter
McChurter”, son
of “Andrew
McChurter” &
“Annabill
McChurter”. A 2nd
child of Andrew & Annabill, “Margaret
McChurtor”, was
christened 8-Apr-1652 and a 3rd child, “Jeane
McChurter” was
christened 27-May-1658. On 5-Nov-1650 “Jonet
McChurter”
married “Queintin
Shaw”. On
14-Jan-1651 “John
McChurtor”
married “Margaret
Kennedie”. On
6-Nov-1651 a female “McChurtor”
married “William
Andersone”. On
11-Aug-1653 “Andrew
McChurter”
married “Jonet
McTosh”. On
14-Dec-1658 “Hugh
McChurter”
married “Jonet
Edgar”. Of
these marriages no offspring seems to have been recorded as christened in Straiton (or
nearby). On 19-Nov-1650 “John
McChurter”, son
of “John
McChurter” &
“Mary
Sinclair” was
christened in Straiton. John & Mary also had children christened “Katharine
McChurter”
7-Dec-1651; “Margaret
McChurter”
20-Jan-1653; “David
McChurter”
20-Jan-1659; and “Joanet
McQuirtor”
21-Jun-1660. A
“Jhon
McChurter”
married “Anable
Cunigham”
20-Nov-1655. Their daughter “Marie
McChurter” was
christened 23-Aug-1656. On 21-Aug-1659 “John
McQuirtor” son of
the same “John
McQuirtor” &
“Anabell
Chininggame” was
christened in Straiton. On 30-Aug-1653 “Jhone
McChurter”
married “Bessie
Hunter”. Their
daughter “Marie
McChurter” was
recorded as christened 27-Mar-1659. Two children of “Peter
McChurter” &
“Jonat
McDill” were
christened in Straiton; “Jhone
McChurter”
13-Dec-1655 and “Jeane
McChurter”
27-May-1658. “Jhone
McChurter” son of
a “David
McChurter” &
“Marion
Logie” was
christened 17-Feb-1659. On 8-Apr-1652 “Margaret
McChurtor”
daughter of “Andrew
McChurtor” &
“Annabill
“McChurtor” was
christened and on 27-May-1658 “Jeane
McChurter”,
daughter of the same Andrew & “Anable”, was
christened in Straiton. On 2-Nov-1662 “James
McQuhirter”, son
of “John
McQuhirter” &
“Marione
Sinklar” was
christened in Straiton. “Georg
McQuater” &
“Isobell
Hanna” had a
son “James
McQuater”
christened 3-Jun-1661 and a 2nd son “James
McQuater” was
christened 7-Aug-1664. On 30-Nov-1665 “Marie
McQuhorter”,
daughter of “David
McQuhorter” &
“Besie
McQuhorter” was
christened. And on 18-Feb-1666 “Androwe
McQuhorter”, son of
“Williame
McQuhorter” &
“Jenat
McKrenkine” was
christened. After 1666 the OPR McWh*rter
christening records in Straiton get sparse. On 12-Mar-1677 the christening of “Jeane
McQuater”,
daughter of “David
McQuater” &
“Jenat
McQuater” is
recorded. On 1-Apr-1682 is recorded the christening of “Mary
McQuhirtor”,
daughter of “Peter
McQuhirtor” &
“Isbell
Millar”. However, a number of McWh*rter
marriages are recorded in Straiton late in the 17th century. On 21-Apr-1691 “John
McWhorter”
married “Agnis
McRankine”. On
3-Jun-1694 their son “John
McQuhortor” was
christened. On 14-May-1691 “John
McWhortor”
married “Jennet
Slos”. On
3-Apr-1692 their daughter “Margrat
McWhortor” was
christened followed on 25-Feb-1694 by son “Peter
McQuirtor”. On 28-Apr-1692 “Margrat
McWirter”
married “Robert
McCail”. On 9-Jul-1693 “William
McQuhirter” son of
“John
McQuhirter” &
“Margrat
McIlwrick” was
christened. On 5-Jun-1694 a “McWhorter” (1st

Carsan”. On 4-Dec-1695 “James
McWhortor” son of
“Quintin
McWhortor” &
“Agnes
Hutcheon” was

McQuarter” was
married in Straiton, but her husband’s name is not given in the record. On 9-Sep-1697

McWhorter”
married “Margaret
Cabreath”. Their
daughter “Bessie
McQuhertor” was
christened 11-Jan-1699. __________ DALMELLINGTON (1650-1700) The earliest mention of
McWh*rters in the OPRs of Dalmellington occurred
with the christening of “Jeane
McQuatter”,
daughter of “David
McQuatter” &
“Catharen
McDill” on
1-Feb-1650. On 16-May-1658 “Jeane

christened on 10-Apr-1664. On 25-May-1679 “George
McQuatter”, son
of “Thomas
McQuatter” &
“Margaret
McQuhirtour” was
christened. [The different spellings of the last name suggest that perhaps some family
spellings were beginning to stick]. __________ LOUDOUN
& SORN (1677-1700) In Loudoun
on
26-Apr-1677 “George
McWhirter” married
“Agnes
Wyllie”. It
appears that this family removed to the Parish of Sorn
at
some point as the christening of “George
McWhirter”, son
of “George
McWhirter” &
“Agnes
Wylie” was
claimed there 10-Mar-1695. __________ OCHILTREE (1684-1700) In the Parish of Ochiltree

McWhirter” and
“Jean
McClellan”. Less than a month later on
2-Feb-1696 a “William
