    Hi Val,

    First column looks like; Place of birth St F....... (whatever the place name is in column 4) formerly of (again unreadable place).

    Alexander William Smith Buchan born 12 April 1877 at 9h 31m PM, The Village, St F.....

    Looks like he was illegitimate, mother Janet Buchan from Parish of Crimond.

      Looking at a map of the area around Crimond the birthplace could be St Fergus.

          Was her address always the same - she is a housemaid so it might be worth trying to see who lived at the house - it could be she was a 'common law wife' to the man of the house.
