Maybe you could be kind enough to see what the last names of this Margaret is and her father looks like James ....  mother Margaret Suyrland  the rest seems hard to read.  Also  is there a place name on the document

Hopefully I pressed the correct buttons to give a reply.  The name Love would as stated would give the names of three siblings, while the name of the fourth the one I am following is given as Lowe in the SP site. Margaret Lowe as it was deciphered for SP and other sites , her father appears as Low no "e". Looking at the state of actual documents I have seen and from what has been explained about the U and V . I am leaning towards just a misreading of the documents somewhere and then having the person listed with the wrong spelling in both SP and LDS site. Of course the other take on this is that it is two different families. Maybe I will see if I can find another document to see if I can link this all together.
So thank you to both of you

The record is for a Barbara Hay father is James Hay mother is Margaret Love or Lowe, I tried the links with the old characters. Then i remembered something about the letter "V" not in use for a long time and "U" used instead. But I cannot read what this Margaret's last name is on this 1720's document
