Greetings all,
First, a correction on list # 2. Kate contacted me asking about my
interpretation of the writing for the entry for Agnes EATON. She asked if it
could have been PATON as the parents seemed to fit one of her lines. I
re-examined the copy I have and still was not sure until I compared the
writing with another entry by the same registrar on another page. I found a
capital E and it was definitely the letter I had taken for a P. Thanks for
the correction Kate.
