Scots Episcopalians, Dundee, 1715-1835

In 1698 Presbyterianism became the established form of church government in Scotland, and those people who wished to retain Episcopacy formed their own congregations. As a result, two distinct Episcopalian churches developed: the Qualified Episcopal Church, which used the English liturgy and practices and employed Anglican clergy; and the other, which retained the Scottish Episcopal practices. In Dundee both churches existed and retained their independence until the early 19th century. The existence of records of baptisms, marriages, and deaths for Episcopalians are virtually non-existent in Dundee until around 1810. To identify who were members of the churches it has been necessary to use other sources, such as the vestry records and financial records, where available. The outcome of that effort is this partial compilation, which cites many, though not all, members of the church during the period 1715 to 1835. This book is overwhelmingly based on records in St. Paul's Cathedral and in the Dundee City Archives.
