Hi Listers,

Well, we're back to the beginning of Fenwick parish now, as it was
split off from Kilmarnock. I've started working on those 6 loose pages
stuffed in the book at the beginning, and several of them were
authored by William Guthrie himself, towards the end of his career at
Fenwick as the first minister there.
