Transcriber's notes
Hello Derek
I have just had a look at your previous page [20] and done some corrections for you.
Please remember to transcribe the handwritten information in the Header. [BUT the whole 'book' is Parish of Glencairn!]
This surveyor seems to enjoy throwing in capital letters in odd places but we must transcribe what we see.
Hope this helps you to go forward.
