Extracts from Barony, Lanark Old Parochial Registers


Below are some extracts from the Old Parochial Registers from the parish of Barony county of Lanark. They are extracts of births and baptisms from December of 1841. I cannot vouch for the spelling as some of the handwriting is very difficult to decipher, so I can only say I've done the best job I can. Where the writing was difficult to decipher I have followed questionable transcriptions with a (?). I have no further information on these people other than what is listed below.
