1750s Baptisms From Scotland

[4b2]

Hello,

Does anyone have any idea what word it says here in bold?

1756. List of Children Bapt[ised]... Edgar. James. Son to W[illia]m Edgar in Crathols? of Kilekie was Born Oct[ober] 7th and Bapt[ised] Oct[ober] 10th by Mr James Lawrie

***

In another image it says "Cotman", as an occupation, but this looks different.



An from the following image I have (unsure of the bold):

1762. Children Baptized... Edgar. Ann. Daug[hte]r to William Edgar in Cloynloch of Clan Laugh? was Born 13 March and Bapt[ised] 14th by Mr James Lawrie

Here, you will find a home Barlaugh, which may be related, but I can't find the specific place.



Thank you in advance for your time.

Clan Laugh might be Clonclaugh.

Found it on a Victorian OS 6-inch sheet shown on your 'here' link.

It appears near the bottom edge of the map near Cloyntie.

Hi 4b2,

I presume these baptisms are from Kirkmichael parish in Ayrshire.

The first looks to me like "Coalhouse of Kileekie", with the long 's'.

The second entry is a bit puzzling - the second word you mention looks to be "Clonclaugh", which by the NLS maps, was a farm in the parish. The buildings still exist but the name has presumably changed.

The first part does read as "Cloynloch", which I cannot find any reference to. Seems more than likely it has something do with nearby Cloyntie, Cloyntie Bridge etc.

Thanks for your input. I'll go with those.
