Title: | Peter Livingston of Port Appin Update |

At long last the microfilm copy of the old Lismore and Appin Parish records finally arrived at my library. In a section of the old Appin Parish book intitled " Register of Christning Parish of Appin Commencing 1790" there is an entry stating that "Peter son to Duncan Livingston and Catherine McNa? (McNab?) at Port Appin was baptised April 17,1796." The information that he born or baptised on April 17, 1797 would not be correct. The 1796 baptismal date would work with the 1851 Scottish census record information which shows our Port Appin Shoemaker Peter Livingston as being 54 years of age possibly in his 55th year of life. There was no baptismal information for any other Peter Livingston from Port Appin circa the 1790's. regards, Donald |
