GR2- Thank you! Wow, that is very interesting and makes sense. I think I have my answer. I will have to keep working on the Wilkie part and see if that is the grandmother's last name or not.
Thank you all for your help.

Thank you for all the warm welcomes and for the replies.
Rosinish and Ruskie- Thank you that makes sense about the poor when you put it like the.
Oldfashionedgirl -I wasn't sure I could post the whole image without breaking copyrights so I only posted the part with the name. There are 4 columns on this record.1) Dates of births and baptisms 2) Parents 3) Children and 4) Name Fathers & Mothers (this is where I found the name).
In this case 1) dec 5 1793 2) John Black and Isabell Orquar 3) Marjory 4) Marjory Wilkie (Poor?)
On a different ancestor I found something similar but the column for the child said named and the next column said "After". Then it gave me the name of the paternal grandmother. This was huge in helping me connect to the correct grandparents.
I was hoping this record would say the same but I would think it would note grandmother if that was the case.

Hi. No one else has this notation and it is under the column for being named after a person such as the uncle or grandfather. Poor did come across my mind as well but I don't think it fits the context of the column. My other though was daur for daughter as in named after another child maybe but it really does look like "Door". Thanks!

Hello...
My first time making a post here. I have a parish birth record from Scotland that looks like it has the word door written after the person the child I am researching was born after. I was wondering if anyone would know what that means. It is in the column that usually says named after paternal grandmother, etc.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
