Burntisland Residents in the Year 1633 Site navigation - please use menu on left (click here to display it if not visible). If problems, use site map. |
The following is an alphabetical list of people living in Burntisland in 1633,
taken from the stent list (taxation roll) of October 1633, which was recorded in the minutes of Burntisland Town Council for that year. It includes additional information about some of the people, but not the sums due from them. The information was extracted from the original
records in the National Records of Scotland by Gill Paterson and Andrea Morrison. It is not a comprehensive list of all inhabitants, as poorer people did not pay taxes and as some names were too
difficult to transcribe. Images of two of the original pages (with transcriptions) can be seen here.

Howard Murray was a member of the first team (formed in 1991) to search for the lost ferry. His book on the events of 1633 (A King's Treasure Lost, 1999) contained a list of "Burntisland names gleaned from the historic record". Murray doesn't give his sources, but it is reasonable to assume that the people he lists were in Burntisland in or around 1633. Most of his names appear in the list above, but 19 do not. They are: Andrew, David
- Freeman, Burntisland; Tailor? Archison, Robert
- Baillie, Burntisland; Merchant Barnie (or Burns), Alexander - Worker; see Burntisland Town Council Minutes 3 August 1633 Coasin, Elspeth - see Burntisland Town Council Minutes 3 August 1633 Cowan, Robert - Shipmaster “William” Dawson, James - Shipmaster “Pilgrim” Dury, John - Shipmaster Gardner, Robert - Shipmaster Ged, John - Shipmaster Mair, Janet - see Burntisland Town Council Minutes 3 August 1633 Man, John - Shipmaster Marshall, William - Freeman Melville, Sir Robert - Landowner, Fife Michaelson, John - Minister, [Parish Church] Orrock, Andrew - Gravedigger; see Burntisland Town Council Minutes 3 August 1633 Phine, William - Shipmaster "Gift of God" Seaton, Andrew - Shipmaster "Grace" White, John - Bellringer; see Burntisland Town Council Minutes 3 August 1633 Workman, James - Painter (Andrew Watson/Mary Somerville House) |
Notes on the Stent List by Gill Paterson: The Stent List (also known as the Extent Roll) was a list of better-off householders who were required to pay taxes. On 22 October 1633, 15 men (mostly the Burgh Councillors) were sworn in to oversee the collection of taxes, and a further man (Thomas Murray) was sworn in at the meeting of 30 October as he had been absent from the earlier meeting. The minutes of the 30 October 1633 meeting refer to
the General Convention held in Edinburgh in July 1630 and the meeting of the Scottish Parliament in June 1633, and to the granting to the King permission to raise taxes from his subjects in Scotland.
