I agree with ShaunJ. It might be 'cousin'.

It also might be better to ask the moderators to move this thread to the 'Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition' board for others to take a look at it.

Hi can I suggest you report an issue with the image on SP, tab at the top of the image, and explain your issue, they are very helpful

Yes, it does look like “cousin”
Entirely possible – John Barid was the son of William Baird and Susan McGill,  and he was born at Newton Toll, Ayr.

Thank you All

I did think it might be cousin but doubted myself because it was in the occupation section.

Yes will try to get post moved.

Thanks again
