deciphering place names
« on: Wednesday 04 October 17 05:23 BST (UK) »
Hi  Could someone please decipher the various attachments for me.

Also what does CHILD 5 mean on the register of the birth of a child (in Scotland's people), does this mean that is the couples 5th child, I cannot find an answer to this anywhere.

Many thanks
