Re http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/unsolved43.html

Following is the transcription I'll put on the web page, pending any
final comments. I've got one, regarding 'Burton' in Line 22 -- is
there an 'i'-dot over it (Garth had 'Brinton') or is that just a stray
mark? There's bleed-through from the back at that point but I don't
think it's that. This may be another name to try and confirm via
parish records.
