Thanks to those who replied off list re bap . General opinion favoured son
in law as meaning step son .
Can't see how myself .. the exact entry reads

' This day James Breton son in law to John Archibald and his spouse Marion
Archibald had a son bap named David'

I know mothers were sometimes left off bap details this isn't a problem . I
am just wondering if perhaps the Minister put down the in laws in lieu of
the mother not being documented ? If I am missing something I'd appreciate
someone enlightening me
