Transcriber's notes
Given that "Mr E. McDonald" and "Mr J. McDonald" have been written in identical longhand writing, and "Mr J. McDonald" appears in the top entry on most other pages in this part of the Volume, it is reasonable to assume that the ensuing "ditto" on this page should be interpreted as meaning both of them

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county.
