Hi,

I have been indexing an 1861 census film for our library here in Melbourne
and came across two terms in Belhelvie Parish that do not appear elsewhere.

They name areas as "Lands of Orrock" and "Lands of Whitecairns."

These I suspect may be farms or estates - can somebody confirm?

Also mentioned are "Chapman Hicks Division" 'Muirtown Division" etc.

What constitutes a Division?

Regards
