Mort Cloth and Proclamation extractsfrom Cambusnethan Parish Accounts
Below is a list that we extracted from the original record books, initially for our own research but now almost the complete details are listed here, it now contains many other names than Just ours, the complete list will be on line shortly.
We are now adding many more mort cloth and proclamation records but feel free to browse the list, just excuse the formatting please.
What are Mort Cloth Records?
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the church was responsible for the maintenance of the poor and the enforcing of moral standards in the community.
Funds were raised through landowners who subsequently passed on some of this cost to their tenants. The Old Parish Records Accounts is a ledger of sort that lists contributions and collections, and how the money was spent, i.e. kirk maintenance, wages, donations to charities and to the local population who may have fell on hard times.
Another source of income was from the renting of shrouds (mort cloths) for covering the dead bodies or casket prior to burial. (probably not very hygienic as they were only rented and reused). Depending on each parish they were set in several categories and costs, these usually were New, Plush, Best and Children.
Not all deaths I imagine would have been recorded in these ledgers as some would basically be unable to meet the cost, although I have seen instances of either a contribution from the Kirk was made or where the payment was made at a later date.
These records are a valuable asset to the genealogist as they contain details not listed on the net, they often have details of spouse, husband or father. If you are really lucky there may also the name of the farm they either owned or worked on.
Not all of the Old Parochial Records exist to this day but almost the majority remaining are stored in The National Archives of Scotland where they have made a tremendous effort in restoration. Provided you can visit in person they can be viewed in the history room free of charge.
The microfiche copies can be viewed at most LDS branches and Family history centers although the early records can be very difficult to read.
