Transcriber's notes
From different ink used the version of the names "Holm of Sandwick" & "Tonga Geo" have been Re-submitted - this annotation being indicated in another name book - also the remains of the annotation, written in pencil, against "Holm of Sandwick".
Probable misspelling in the Authorities of the name "Lauranson" - likely to be "Laurenceson".
