A clearer scan would help.

I've tried to enhance it a little but it's still a bad copy

Did you save it as a JPEG, when you downloaded it?

If not you may like to do so. It won't cost you anything.

Karen, sometimes the imageing at SP goes slightly awry  ::)

If all else fails, you can always contact SP and ask them for an enhanced image for any section you are having a problem with. They are very good at responding to this type of query and will send via email a better image.

See www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/content/contactus/form.aspx?issue=24

Hi Lochee

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

I think it is the bottom two lines on the page, the note, that Karen is struggling with (as are all of us at present!).
