Scottish Indexes adds Canonbie kirk session record indexes

Scottish Indexes (www.scottishindexes.com) has added some of the Canonbie (Dumfriesshire) Kirk Session records indexes to its site, as follows:

Canonbie Kirk Session Minutes: Discipline cases involving the birth of an illegitimate child 1709-1855 - These have been added to the ‘Scottish Paternity Index’.

Canonbie Kirk Session: Irregular Marriages and 'Ante-nuptial fornication' cases 1709-1855. These entries have been added to the ‘Non-OPR Banns/Marriages’ collection.

The records have been indexed by Andrew Armstong, using images taken by Scottish Indexes. Andrew also has a PDF version of a more comprehensive index available on his site, which Scottish Indexes is linking through to it from its results page: https://www.scottishindexes.com/ksentry.aspx?ksid=1582140499
