Illegible Writing

[stetj]

I seem to struggle with the different styles of handwriting on documents. I have attached a segment of a birth record from 1823 in Scotland. I'm not sure what the last three lines say. I have a few other records that are hard to read too but i don't want to take liberties and attach them all. Any ideas would be very appreciated. Thanks

tized named Johnathan before these
 witnesses vid George Gilmour in Bogs of
Tesies and John Grum in Hillbrae

Is the wife's name Jean May or Moy?

Similar to Gadget's

has by his wife Jean May a son bap-tized James? Johnathan before these witnesses viz George Gilmore in Bessy ?? & John Green in Hillbay?

Is it Jean Hay rather than May - comparing the H in Hillbrae 

[Arranroots]

Yes, I just wondered about Hay.

It is almost certainly "named" too - well spotted!

Have you looked any of the places up gadget?  Where in the world Scotland are we?

Could be Hay, it looks very similar to the H of Hillbrae but the central downstroke is more like an M.

Do we know the father's surname?

Yes, I just wondered about Hay.
