Thank you, Istrice. I can see it on the map, and I'm sure that is the right place.

Midlothian / KS record "both in ____?"
« on: Friday 30 May 25 15:48 BST (UK) »
This is from Liberton Kirk Session Feb 1779.
The writing is clear but the name of the place the couple are "both in" partly disappears into the gutter between pages. It looks like Cl__amin. Can anyone suggest where it could be, please?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: James Drummond marriage
« on: Sunday 04 May 25 08:56 BST (UK) »
The Red Book has been compiled from various sources, potentially allowing errors to creep in. In this case it references the OPR Blackford as the source of the marriage information. That OPR states the bride's father is David Clow, so it seems that the information was not copied correctly.

Thank you for taking time to look at this.
I agree, but this was in a census column for anyone who had died in the previous year, so it was probably the child's father, or the census enumerator, who spelt it like that. I'm happy to accept it is inflammation and not some rare disease.

Thanks Gadget, Viktoria and janan. As I thought, just a spelling mistake.

1861 Canada West census
Cause of death of Mary Lindsay, dau. of John & Catherine, who died aged 4 mths. Is it mis-spelt Inflamation?

The Lighter Side / Excellent service from SP, Registration Services not so great
« on: Wednesday 09 April 25 11:41 BST (UK) »
Yesterday at the SP centre I asked mid-afternoon for an illegible record to be rescanned. A clear copy was in my e-mail box first thing today.
In contrast, 10 days ago I ordered a digital copy of an English death record, received a file that is blank except for the header with the district name, and so far have had nothing more than an acknowledgement of my complaint. Anyone know how long they take to rectify this kind of problem?

The site closed down some years ago. I don't remember exactly when or why.
