Thank you horselydown86
The word "Southesk" looks out of place - do you agree that is what it is?
"ne" looks to be on that line

This is the word I have questioned.
It's either Sed?ler or Sod?ler.

Yes.

ok. Thank you

Robert Childer's occupation is sadller or sedller, both possible spelllings of saddler.
The letters (nr? mr?) at the side seem to be a red herring.
