Many thanks everyone, anybody work out the witness addresses ?

William Knox
12 ___ Mossend Bellshill

Margaret Liddell

55 ___ hill Road High Blantyre

I suspect that both William and Margaret were siblings to James and Cathrine and are new editions to my family tree.

I think tenter may the likely option, I would imagine in those times not allot of testing would be done.  It was either working or broke awaiting repair/replacement.
