Research notes

Janet's birth / parents?

Possibly the d/o John SUTHERLAND and Elizabeth GUNN bap Jan 1752, Watten - if so entry reads 9 Jan 1752 (date at very edge of page, so could be 19th, as the following entry was) John Sutherland in Houstry presented a child to be baptized begotten in lawful wedlock betwixt him and Elizabeth Gun his spouse, called Janet, witnesses are:" (but no witnesses listed)
but given she was in Tormesdale when she married, possbily connected somehow to Alexander and Dorothy (SUTHERLAND) SUTHERLAND instead?
