Margt Caley als Stephan also gave evidence, as did Thomas Caley.

"Patrick Garret & Ewan Curlet acknowledged that they broke up the ground & made the grave of Ewan Scarf aforesd..."

The "Uncle" buried was later named as "Uncle Edmond Caley".

The above information is included among Archdeacon wills 1717-1721, copied to film no.0106211.

These are not my relatives. I am posting the message because it is unlikely that this information still exists in Lezayre M.I.s, and hopefully it will be of use to someone.
