This bap record is quoted in The History of Antigua Vol 1. I understand from rootschat thread that it was practice to put on the bap record who the child was named after. Can anyone explain the part following that with name mothers?
'Cert of Baptism – June 22, 1748 Patrick Coull, Merchant of Cullen, by his wife, Anne Ogilvie*. Child born the 21st, named James, after James Earl of Findlater**, James Lord Deskford, James Lawton of Cullen, James B Bailli, *** name mothers****Margaret Ogilvie of Airdoch,***** Jane Grey.
Extracted from the record of Births and Baptisings kept at Cullen 21/7/29. Robert.
* Anne was daughter of Earl of Findlater
** Brother of Mrs Coull
*** Cousin
**** Aunt
***** Airdoch, a farm near Cullen.'
Fascinating stuff...also explains where the family myth of a relationship to the Earl of Findlater originated .
Thanks for any insights into this.
