Here's a snip of George's entry, further up the page.
Add - can't find a marriage!
Thank you.
I only had the two snips, not the whole page.
This lot are a real mystery. I am sure that if Thomas and Ms Birrell had not been married, the Minister would have added some note about fornication or base born children.
Bbart, I can find no reference to Jamsie after this baptism.
I can't find any other children born to the couple.
I have never found a burial record for George, but he died well before statutory registration came into force. His last child was born in 1839, he isn't to be found in 1841 and in 1851 his wife is a widow.
George's first son and second daughter were called Thomas and Sarah, and there is indeed a Sarah Birrell around the right age, but I had hoped to get some confirmation from these baptisms.
Oh well, thank you for the help, I'll have a good look at the map and see if I can find a likely place.

P.S. Xinia, the thing is that every other entry has the mother's name, and it's odd that only the surname should be noted down here
