Just a thought but as we are heading to the South end of Scotland it may be that the surname of 'Elisabeth Haugh' is a variant of 'HOGG'  :-\

Could this thread be any connection?...

I think David was born Thirteenth July & baptised 15th July  :-\

If he was born 31st July he would have had to be baptised the same day & it definitely doesn't look anything like 31st for his baptism  ???

Many thanks to all and I wasn't expecting such a response to my message even though I am still a in doubt! I now read:

Ecclesmachan 19 April 1788
David Meikle lawfull son to David Meikle Indweller in
Landerdale Haugh/parish and Elizabeth Hawgh was born thirty
first day of July 1777 and baptised of July before these
witnesses  Wm Meikle and Andrew Cumminghan.

Indweller - I did find a Mr William Meikle paying Inhabited House tax in 1779, August 21. 
1738-1798 Lauder Royalty - 1702, West Lothian parish of Abercorn. Yet to look at carriage, dog, watch, window taxes but I have spent many hours looking elsewhere!

Please - once again another look at David Meike ...
I read:
Ecclesmachan 19 April 1780
David Meikle lawfull son to David Meikle Indweller in
Landerlade Haugh/the parish? and Elizabeth Hewgh was born thir ?
first day of July 1777 and baptised of? July before these
witnesses Daniel? Meikle and Andrew Cummingham.

Still in doubt where there is a question mark after 3 these words!
Witness is not John but could it be Daniel? Mind you, no Daniels in this family.
Thanks once again for your help
