Transcriber's notes

Abbreviated name 'Mt': this might be Matthew, or alternatively Margaret. Gone with Margaret because William and Margaret have the same parents also mother is Margaret.

From the other Forfarshire volume, this entry should read 'William Gibb Glaskany', i.e. the surname had been omitted. The place is 'Glascorrie' in the OS Name Book.
