Old Parish Birth record
« on: Monday 20 March 17 14:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I need help reading 2 words in this Parish birth record. It is the second entry from the bottom of the page; name: Gardner.

I can read the rest which I believe is

'Andrew Gardner BLANK BLANK & Margaret Ford had a lawful son, their 3rd child born 20th May 1843 named James. James Ford & William Gardner Witnesses.'

The two words I have left blank I cannot read. From looking at the other entries on the page, I have made the guess the words could be an occupation and a location. The record is from the Parish of Barony in Scotland so the location would relate to that.

thanks in advance

Shaun

Dealer

??anfield (must be a place name)

It could start with a 'J' as the beginning of the word looks very similar to James, which is on the line below.

JJ

ahhh  Dealer, that makes sense as I have another record where Andrew is listed as being a Salesman.

So I'm guessing thats similar to Dealer?

thankyou guys
