'Delated' means 'accused' or 'denounced'. However I wonder if it may be 'working their hose' - they may have been weavers or hosiers. I'm following these with interest, hoping for names I'll recognise, and looking through archives for the ones before I joined this list .. Thanks Jim! Jenny PS nae Gaelic here, just Scots and the odd legal-Latin phrase (pro secundo - for the second time)
