Hi,
I have a 'George PATERSON' born 06/06/1772 and have found his OPR copy.
However, as is usual (for me at least), I'm having difficulty reading it. I would be grateful for any help.
Colin

Hi Colin
I am useless on these so reverting to IGI, parents are George and Janet Kelman. Can't make out place name where family lived nor the witnesses names which are probably of interest to you  Big family - siblings to George, all showing in the Grange OPRS, look to be:
1. GEORGE PATERSON Christening: 06 JUN 1772
2. JOHN PATERSON Christening: 26 MAR 1774
3. WILLIAM PATERSON Christening: 24 MAY 1776
4. JANNET PATERSON Christening: 08 AUG 1778
5. JANE PATERSON Christening: 16 MAY 1780
6. JAMES PATERSON Christening: 24 JUL 1780
7. ISOBEL PATTERSON Christening: 25 AUG 1784
8. HELEN PATERSON Christening: 21 MAR 1786
9. ALEXANDER PATERSON Christening: 16 NOV 1788
Hopefully someone can make out the finer details for you 
Monica

Monica,
Thank you for that, I didn't expect such a quick reply!
Yes, we knew it was a large family but didn't have as many details as you've provided.
It would be nice if we could find the residence, so I've downloaded a few pages of the same handwriting to try and compare.
Many thanks,
Colin

I HAVE edited my profile - several times!

This is how I read it:
"Grange June 6th 1772 George Paterson in Stripeside had a child by his wife Janet Kelman baptised and called George. Witnesses Ge: Wiseman Ge: Achornachie Elspet and Margaret Kelman"
So I think the only place name is Stripeside, which still exists, National Grid reference NJ465519.
Achornachie is probably a variant spelling of Auchinachie.
Does this help?

Does it help - it certainly does!
I guess it's a learned response, but now that you have written it out, I can see the names but there wasn't a hope previously of me making anything of it.
I'm very grateful to the both of you for your time and efforts, it's one of the things that make this forum such a help.
Thanks again,
Colin
