Kirriemuir OPR
« on: Thursday 09 August 07 23:10 BST (UK) »
I have read the Kirriemuir Parish Record at the LDS Family History Center, concerning JO Young, who had six children there between 1719 and 1729. Unfortunately I cannot interpret the handwriting as to his residence. Yes, even though it has been written six times I am still uncertain.

Have tried to locate old maps of Kirriemuir but to no avail.

Would someone know of an area around Kirriemuir called "Bents" or some similar spelling during this period?

I would greatly appreciate any help.

I came across an old map of Kirriemuir from 1861 recently on the NLS site - http://www.nls.uk/maps/townplans/kirriemuir.html
