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.
