Carnock Parish in the Dunfermline Register: part 1

Dear blog reader

Welcome to the start of another series – I would describe this series as a combination of local and family history. The entries for Carnock parish in the Dunfermline Register, which was printed periodically from 1837 to 1859, contain voter’s details, teacher’s details, heritor’s details, transport details and some extras.

I thought the numerous mentions of Cairneyhill in the Carnock parish entry in the 1837 Dunfermline Register were very interesting.
