Thank you Robin for the Parish Register Extract information. Matthew Renwick and Agnes White are my GGGG grandparents. I'm not sure what the Lab and Hogspath mean either though. I have a few extracts with other information on also. Perhaps I will post them in case I can help out someone else here. Thanks again.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong but I think you will find Lab. is the abbreviation for Labourer and at a guess Hogspath would the residential address of the part of the village/town.
