Deciphering please
« on: Tuesday 10 October 17 08:25 BST (UK) »
Hope someone can decipher the pieces I want, the file name of each says which part of the writing I  am looking for.

I was hoping one of them was ANGUS FLETCHER & ELIZABETH LEITCH - but I really think her surname is Erskine, and I am not sure of his first name doesn't look like Angus.

Many thanks

I thought that when I saw it but put down what I saw. I've only been through Hamilton once but passed by many times on the A/M74  ;D
