Witnesses Alexander Chalmers senior (Sen^r) and Alexander Chalmers junior (jun^r) in ? of Eden.

The place given for William Wright looks like h?dy hill.
Can you find a place nearby with a name like that?
Where did the baptism take place?

Possibly both these are names of farms.

You may have to do some searching backwards and forwards from the place you know the baptism took place.
