Lucy2 and Brionne,
Thank you. He had been living in England near London. So that first one makes sense. I'm not sure he would have spelt his name with 2 't's but that could have been an error by the scribe at the time I'm sure.
He certainly would have claimed to be Scottish before English as all other records have him listed as Scottish, even in England.
So how now, do I know if that was him?
Thank you so much for your help! Kind regards
