Title: 1863 Address in Falkland Parish, Fife *** COMPLETED ***
Post by: Chiad Fhear on Thursday 05 November 20 14:34 GMT (UK)

Hi RootsChatters

Can anyone decipher the attached entry on an 1863 Parish of Falkland, Fife, Register of Births for me please?

My thoughts are: "1863 June Fourteenth (time isn't relevant) Mid Couland"

Over to you

Stay Safe

Looks like Mid Couland?

Can you post an expanded image with more writing for comparison please?

I've given it a slightly different background colour.  Does it help?

I think Couland is correct...

1868 - https://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/archive/86555610?mode=transcription

"Coulands : Falkland, Ladybank : David Birrell"

Add...Did you edit your post as I didn't notice 'your thoughts' when I read it?

Thanks all

Mid Couland was my thought initially.  You've confirmed it for me.
