Hello Heather and Welcome to
I checked the Old Parish Register index on Scotland's People.
there is this couple marrying in Forgandenny :
I tried searching using ' PIT*Y ' in just Forgandenny parish:
births gave this interesting one:
Marriages:
When searching that far back especially with unusual names you really need to be creative with your search terms.
I hope that helps you along the road.

they are also indexed under Perth Parish asPITKEATHLY LAURENCE ANNA KERMACK 11/07/1777 Forgandenny,
so it will be the banns that are noted being called in both party's local parish. presumably a son?PITKETHLY & KERMOCH,

births gave this interesting one:
[birth or Christening date]PITKAITHLY LAURENCE father NINIAN PITKAITHLY/ M 23/08/1719
Marriages:
andPITKAITHLY LAURENCE ANNA BOWMAN/ 16/06/1748

When searching that far back especially with unusual names you really need to be creative with your search terms.

Re: Pitkethley family
Which is why I didn't find any!
However family search has noted that:
https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Fo ... _GenealogyHere is a list of the surviving Kirk session records for this parish:
Minutes 1709–1836
Cash Books 1794–1845, 1849–1928
Note: Available at the National Archives of Scotland, Edinburgh, record CH2/161.
The Kirk Session Minutes also contain mortcloth payments that can be used to identify deaths, for example:"10 Oct 1759 By the Cloth on Robert Arnot in Ardargie £1/10", reference CH2/161/3/271
So all is not lost.

Re: Pitkethley family
One day the Kirk Session records will come online at ScotlandsPeople - it's been one of their longest-made promises.WilmaM wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 8:41 pmHowever family search has noted that:https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Fo ... _GenealogyHere is a list of the surviving Kirk session records for this parish:
