Hi I am just viewing the ORR's for Haddington. My gggg grandparents decided that most of their children would be bapitsed before the congregatiuon. For me this means that the entry is entered in the margin, in small writing, in lighter ink that the normal enties. There are few of these entries apart from what apprear for my family. These margin entries do not mention a baptism date, like a standard entry (is it the date at the top of the page?) Why are they in the margin ? Why would the family have their children baptised this way? What does this mean? I've included 4 entries, two standard & two margin entries. Note that all the surnames mentioned in the standard two entries including witnesses have a connection with my family in Haddington, which is why I chose them. Here they are: Page 221, 14 February 1802 DODS, Peter, Gardner and Christian HEWATT had a son born 30 March 1802, baptised in witness of the congregation. Page 268, 18 December 1808 DODS, Peter , Gardner and Christian HEWETT had a daughter born 2 November 1808, baptised before the congregation . Page 189,2 October 1796 SHIRREFF, John,Tennant in Mungowells and Janet MYLNE his spouce had a daughter born 8 December 1797 and baptised by the name of Mary Margaret, witness Patrick SHIRREFF and George MYLNE Page 210, 21 September 1799 FORREST, Thomas, son of James FORREST, Baker, & Helen PRINGLE, born 21 September and baptised 7th October , witness Messers Archd TODDERICK & John FORREST Any help would be appericated, I will also post this to the Lothian's list.

Dear Bill, Thank you very much for the additional information on the potteries in Prestonpans. My mother and two sisters moved from Glasgow to Haddington, East Lothian, in the mid-sixties, and we "tooled around" East Lothian quite a bit when I'd go home to visit my mother. At that time I had no idea that we had Hillcoat antecedents from Prestonpans, otherwise I would have paid far more attention to the area, hindsight being 20-20, as the saying goes. Before my mother died, she moved back to Glasgow to stay with my brother; both my sisters and one husband of the younger one are also dead, so there is little incentive for me to visit Haddington and airts when I go home. I don't know why I never considered that area as being involved with potteries; it just didn't click. Thanks for filling me in on this gap in my "education."
