Last outlines could be, as you suggest Greensleeves - "words are below".  I think that is the short form for word?  Doesn't that short form also appear in the middle of the first line?

I think you could well be right there, tillypeg. I agree  that that outline is the shortform for 'word'.

Thank you Everybody, for your assistance.
The shorthand transcription confirms that Margaret Richardson was a diligent Bible student.
Best wishes,
John
