Transcriber's notes
Note that the recorder has made an error in the second column, which should read Gladsmuir Hills. Not necessarily wrong!
Dear transcriber, please can I point you in the direction of the FAQs to help and support you in your transcriptions.
Please do not expand in the middle of the word. Names are expanded to full without brackets, Co. is expanded as Co. [County]. This is all explained in the FAQs which are found on this link. There are also approved pages to use as an example.

You also need to transcribe the info from the headers and put the text from the situation box in the desc as follows: [situation] details, then a new line for the desc.
Please also do not assume the writer has made an error when the heading is various modes of spelling. The local accent may have sounded like Gladsmur. Please transcribe as seen, do not make grammatical or spelling corrections to our modern standards.
I have completed this page for you as an example, please take note of the formats.
Please also visit us on the forums where you can ask questions to aid your work.
