I'm used to the terminology my Californian cousin addresses that branch of her family tree with.
From the point of view of the Church of England, every Christian denomination in Scotland is equivalent to nonconformist except the Roman Catholic and Episcopalian churches. So it's not only irrelevant, it isn't even useful to apply it erroneously.  ;)
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Wow, just wow.  I have dyslexia and if that's the terminology my cousins family notes referred to it from the 19th century then do please excuse the both of us.

As stated, this is a learning curve for me and I don't appreciate your turn of phrase. There's pointing out somebody's misinterpretation surely in a kinder fashion?

Don't waste my time or yours any further with a response. I shall not be back.

And to all the others who were so helpful, I do appreciate all your responses and tips.  All the best to you all.

I am sorry if you do not like my 'turn of phrase', and happy to apologise for any offence I may inadvertently have given.

I for one found Forfarian's clarification to be most enlightening, as usual. I also noticed that his post was accompanied by a smiley face.
