Post by: mommabear52 on Monday 02 January 17 04:20 GMT (UK)
Found a baptismal record for Janet Clark 16 Dec 1777 in Lochgoilhead parish

Parents lived in ??Pollochoradan ???? script is difficult to read; have not found it on maps...

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Can you please post a snip of the image here so we can have a look at it and offer suggestions as to what the word may be?

Include a couple of other nearby entries so we can get a feel for the writing. :)

There is a Polchorkan marked on the old maps just north of Lochgoilhead.

Thank you mommabear. I see the place name written as Pollochorka_.

I think given the location and the almost exact spelling, that Mo's find of Polchorkan is correct.  :)
