Scottish sasine info COMPLETED

[Rufous Treecreeper]

Would appreciate others opinion on whether I've got this transcription right.

'As also [?] the deceast John Hutton wryter in Hamilton son to umql. Thomas Hutton late baillie there brother to the deceast John Hutton maltman there guidsir to the sd Thomas Hutton...'

Is 'guidsir' , if that is what it says, short for godfather?  And if it is godfather, does it refer to Thomas Hutton late baillie being the godfather of the said Thomas Hutton?

Thanks, Mo

I'm not too sure but I think guidsir is grandfather.

Its hard to see the context from the snippet you have posted. I would like to see the whole paragraph.

[veeblevort]

the dictionary of the Scots Language at http://www.dsl.ac.uk
confirms guidsir as grandfather.

Thank you Veeblevort and FreckNeale    That's a new term for me (obviously  ).  The info confirms the family tree I'd pieced together too.
