Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with town name
« on: Friday 09 February 18 03:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Thanks for that.
Yes, it certainly looks like Netherton.
The other 2 Baptism records just say Baker in Dunfermline.
Looks like there was an area in Dunfermline called Netherton.
I've also now found a reference to a Netherton about 1.5km NE of Milnathort (where this baker was born) plus another area named Netherton up near Glasgow (he was also named in some documents as a baker from Glasgow).
So, it's all pointing to Netherton (although which of the 3, mentioned above, is anyone's guess).
Thanks again, much appreciated.
Cheers,
Greg.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with town name

Hi,
Can anyone decipher the town name in this image?
It says "Baker in ???" and is from a Dunfermline Baptism record in 1793.
Thanks.

Wow!
Thanks so much, greatly appreciated.
Lots of familiar names there that I can now attribute dates to.
You're a legend.
Cheers.

Hi,
All of my Broun/Brown ancestors would be in most of those cemeteries.
I'm interested in all the Broun/Brown pre-1855 inscriptions if you have them.
One particular one that we have been searching for for years is from James Brown to his grandparents, possibly Ebenezer Broun of Finderlie and Christian Thomson in the old Orwell churchyard.
Being on the other side of the world makes it hard for us to find them.
Anyhow, any information will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Greg.
