Transcriber's notes
Gateley Bridge - other modes of spelling - 'Galelaw' should probably be 'Gatelaw' with the writer forgetting to cross the 't' see previous page (OS1/10/40/102) and List of Names to be corrected. Gateleybridge has been corrected using different ink to Gateley Bridge - I have assumed this applies to the following two 'Do' entries since it applies to the Bridge and not the village.
Gateleybridge - other modes of spelling - the t in Gateleybridge has not been crossed
School - Descriptive Remarks - 'masters house' assumed, although it looks more like 'malters'?
last line assumed to be Parochial Regulations with the 'o' (or 'c') and the 'i' missing from Parochial
