the transcriptions found by Annie (Rosinish) LAWCHWARIT, LAWCHNARET, LAWCHWARETdon't immediately point to any Scottish surname I have found on surname lists.

Except....perhaps...just perhaps...a remote possibilty..... LOCKHART (and that's pushing it a bit!)

I wonder if it would be possible top find a male sibling of Jenet (or any male with the same surname) and tracking children forward a few generations to see how the name developed.

Wow, TY very much for all this extra stuff.  As for the records, said cousin goes to the office in Edinburgh, pays for access to the files, and manually transcribes what she finds.  I guess it's what works when you're in research mode and have to look at many things to confirm, deny, or otherwise trace the family line.

Lockhart had briefly crossed my mind as perhaps -warit could have slurred to -arrit and -art phonetically but it really seemed a stretch and most of my surname lookups gave the impression that it had a German base - possible in England but much less common in Scotland.

As for tracing down the siblings, it's a good idea but I have yet to get parents for her.

Philip, I did think of Lockhart/Lochart but it's an elastic band....a stretch

Seems they had 2 daughters with  same name, possibly 1st died or 2 different entries, one with wrong date?

I've noticed that names got reused a lot with child deaths.

"makes due with the extracts because of cost"

Just for information ....

Scale of charges here:
https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/our-charges

At ��7.50 for 30 credits, this is really a minimal cost - and probably cheaper than your cousin's bus fare to the NLI in Edinburgh.  Maybe the two of you could share the cost? (you say your cousin pays to acces the files anyway)

Alternatively, if your cousin is viewing the original documents, could s/he photograph the word so we could take a look at it (and be sure to include a record or two either side for comparison)?
