Hi everyone,

Thanks for the help on this one. 

I do think that this was an illegitimate birth - I can find no record of a marriage or other children by these 2 parents.  So thanks for the help on translating what this record was telling me.

The record was indeed from Logie in Fife.  The birth in question was my 4th great grandmother.

Next time I am in Edinburgh, I'll try and look at the kirk session records (if available) to see if there is any other useful info.

Thanks again everyone,
Clare
