Baptism of 7th child of Andrew Reid and Janet GIBB

[BumbleB]

I think that Gabr. Park is the other witness - so the child is named Elizabeth. 

Oops, just spotted that you already think the same.

Thanks for all comments
Always good to have a few opinions

Some trees have her as Elizabeth Leslie REID. I dont know where that middle name came from .
I spent ages trying to work out if the word before Elizabeth was another name and what Cal at end of second line meant ....it was by looking at other records on page that i worked out cal-led. Good tip Gaffy

I've now found transcriptions (not originals) of all the preceding children and mother is transcribed as Elizabeth not  Janet GIBB
So I wonder if it is a mistake or a middle name

[Neale1961]

Andrew Reid married Elizabeth Gibb in 1748, Barony.

Children baptised in Barony to father Andrew Reid
1st child baptised with mother named Elizabeth Gibb
2nd, 3rd and 4th children baptised with mother named Janet Gibb
5th and 6th children baptised with mother named Elizabeth Gibb
7th child baptised with mother named Janet Gibb

I can see no other Reid- Gibb marriage.
So perhaps Elizabeth Gibb was also known as Janet.
Or Andrew was having children with 2 different Gibb girls.

Thanks Neale
Where did you find those records ?
The ones i found were on ancestry

I hope it was the first option .

Scotlands People. The best place to look for Scottish records (in my opinion).
https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
You need to sign in, but it is free to search. A small cost to download a record if you want it.

I.ll have to check on there & buy some more credits

as I had the first two girls Mary + Margaret  as twins with same birth and baptism but it would be extremely  odd if they had different mother's names

[Neale1961]

I cannot see any Mary.

These are the children’s baptism on SP:
Margaret 09/11/1749
Janet 02/01/1752
Isabel 31/05/1753
James 06/04/1755
Elizabeth 21/11/1757
Jean 20/07/1760
Elizabeth 08/07/1762

Thanks so much Neale
Those dates will be useful

I think the trees that have given Elizabeth middle name leslie maybe a misreading  of  -led at the end of called .

SP has changed  ive not used it for a while and find searching harder now
