« on: Saturday 05 June 21 07:13 BST (UK) »
Can anyone decipher the third line of this record
I think

The first line is Andw REID & Janet GIBB ...in Lightburn

 Second line ...Had their 7 th child  bapt/born 25th June ???

Third line ???????               ( Don't know who James Cameron is)

Thanks in advance I hope it is my direct ancestor but I  won't influence your ideas
If it's the name I can't read the words afterward

The third line has the name of the witness:John Cameron
and the child is called Elizabeth (Gibb?) Gab'r (maybe Gabriel) Parke (I think?)

Thanks Neale
On my tree its Elizabeth REID I don't know what the Gabriel Park bit could be

Her mother is given as Janet GIBB  elsewhere and other children of Andrew REID  seem to be baptized with mother's name as Elizabeth GIBB b 1762
  I'm putting her mother on my tree as Elizabeth Janet GIBB provisionally

Is the word before Elizabeth
"called" split across two lines ?

Could Gab PARK  be first witness ?

Yes, I think that could be.
I read it at first that Elizabeth was called Gabr. Park too but I think you are right.  :)

Thanks Heywood  (modified. There is a full stop after Elizabeth)

Now I'm off to see if I can find the other 6 baptisms

Can the pattern not be inferred from other entries on the page? For example, it looks like you've included the last line of the entry above in your snippet, which clearly shows the word 'called' and a girl's forename, followed by two names and the start of what looks like the same word at the end.

The full stops are there because the names are abbreviated and witness /witnesses both end in ‘s’.   :)
