Liberton (Midlothian)

Introduction

Note This parish lies south-east of Edinburgh. Do not confuse with Libberton in Lanarkshire, which is sometimes called `Libberton in Clydesdale'. In old documents, both parishes are arbitrarily spelt with one or two `b's. Note also that, in addition to the `Niddry' in Liberton, there is a `Niddry' in Kirkliston WLN.

This page lists some of the available sources of information about Liberton before 1900, in particular, records that are held in the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh, where many of the records are open to the public at no charge.

The Old Parish Registers of births/baptisms, marriages and deaths/burials (1624-1854), the Statutory Registers of Births, Marriages and Deaths beginning on 1 Jan 1855 and the census records for the parish for the years 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 may be seen, in person, in Edinburgh, at the ScotlandsPeople Centre. See details at the website for the ScotlandsPeople Centre.

Indexes and actual records for the Old Parish Registers, Statutory Registers of Births, Marriages & Deaths and Censuses are also available online, following registration and the purchase of credits, at the official web-site, ScotlandsPeople. The statutory records of births can be seen at that site from 1855 up to 100 years ago; of marriages, from 1855 up to 75 years ago; for deaths, from 1855 up to 50 years ago. More recent records can be ordered.

The Old Parish Registers and census records are also widely available in libraries on microfilm. Microfiche indexes to the pre-1855 registers of baptisms/births and marriages (for all Midlothian) and of the censuses of 1881 and 1891 are also widely available.

The parish of Liberton lies within the area covered by the Lothians Family History Society.

Manuscript transcript available in Scottish Genealogy Society Library. Also now published as part of R. Torrance (ed.), North-East Midlothian Monumental Inscriptions, Scottish Genealogy Soc., Edinburgh, 2000, ISBN 0-901061-88-3. Contains names of 1071 heads of household and some others; wives and children are mentioned but in most cases not named. Unfortunately, some of the sub-headings such as 'cottars' and 'servants' of this publication are misleading; they mark where lists of cottars or servants begin, but fail to indicate where the lists end.

They can also be seen in person at the ScotlandsPeople Centre in Edinburgh - see details at ScotlandsPeople Centre.

Note that hardly any of these testaments before 1800 include the will of the deceased, being largely accounts of the 'goods and gear' of the deceased and of debts owed and owing. Some of them mention relatives.
