Searching for place....??Pollochoradan.?????....in Lochgoilhead
« on: Monday 02 January 17 04:20 GMT (UK) »
Found a baptismal record for Janet Clark 16 Dec 1777 in Lochgoilhead parish

Parents lived in ??Pollochoradan ???? script is difficult to read; have not found it on maps...

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Can you please post a snip of the image here so we can have a look at it and offer suggestions as to what the word may be?

Include a couple of other nearby entries so we can get a feel for the writing. :)

There is a Polchorkan marked on the old maps just north of Lochgoilhead.
