Minnigaff Parish Church Records

1694 - 1750


The civil parish of Minnigaff is bounded on the north by the parish of Barr in Ayrshire, on the west by the parish of Penninghame in Wigtownshire, on the east by Kells and Girthon, and on the south Kirkmabreck. The earliest existing register of births commences in 1694, there occurs a blank from July 1696 to December 1699, and again from October 1709 to June 1718, from which period it has been kept to the present time, though a great portion of its contents have been very meagerly recorded. The register of marriages also commences in 1694; a blank occurs from 1696 to 1699, and from 1709 to 1736; from the latter date to 1771 it has been kept with more or less regularity. From 1771 there is a blank of thirty eight years; from 1809 to 1821 it has been very irregularly kept. After an interval of seventeen years, the registration of marriages was resumed in 1839, and there is every probability of the register being now faithfully kept. There is no record of deaths. However, there are several Milligan headstones in Minnigaff Church of Scotland graveyard with earliest inscription dating from 1695.
