Alan, the first of these URLs doesn't load a document.

The second does load but there's no K in the text.

Thanks.

Finding it hard to crop a pdf cleanly on my phone. Hope this works... not sure if there is A k there to compare to.

Also, Alexander had a few siblings...i will get their birth docs to compare.

Thanks Alan.  I believe there is a K - the father of the Feb 18 1783 baptism is William McKeath.

I see similarities between this letter K and the capital of your place name.

In my opinion, the long curving line coming down from the top is an artifact and not part of the place name's capital.  Once this is subtracted, the capital looks very like the other K.

Others may disagree.

ADDED:

So that makes the top line:    Kil=

All of the kids were born in Maybole , with Alexander being the middle child. I checked after someone mentioned Kilhenzie castle and it is listed as being in Maybole.

That's interesting Neale. Thanks for that. I will get the other siblings docs and see if there are any further clues.
