Baptism of Agnes, second daughter of Robert and Sarah Gavin in 1829 in Hazzelbank. It reads : "Hazzlebank - Robert Givan and Sarah Millar had a daughter born 29th Feb baptized 8th March - J.H. - Agnes Givan" J.H = clergyman's initials.
Above: Baptism of Robert, the eldest son of Robert and Sarah born in Crossford in 1834. It reads " Crossford - Robert Given and Sarah Miller had a son born 22 March baptized the 10th May. J.H. - Robert Given."

The 1840 burial below is probably for this same child, as the registers usually note if a child was still-born as opposed to dying as a child. The record reads: " April 7 - A child of Robert Given's - Crossford."
