St. Paul’s Cathedral in Dundee generously provided additional information, adding further depth to this unique resource. In 1698, Presbyterianism became the official form of church governance in Scotland, but many chose to preserve Episcopalian traditions, forming their own congregations. This led to the emergence of two distinct Episcopalian churches: the Qualified Episcopal Church, which adopted English liturgy and practices, and the Scottish Episcopal Church, which maintained its traditional customs. In Dundee, both churches coexisted independently until the early 19th century. While records of baptisms, marriages, and deaths for Episcopalians in Dundee are scarce before 1810, researchers have pieced together member details using alternative sources like vestry and financial records. This collection offers a rare glimpse into the lives of Scottish Episcopalians during a transformative period in history.
