Having looked up & finally bought a few credits, I found a Birth? or Baptism? for a William McDonald. Parents John Mcdonald & Catherine McKay. This coincides with later English census records listing this Family.

On the view page after parents names is ""FR2489 CHILD 2 M" Barony Glasgow City / Lanark 622/0090 0419 the last being I guess vol.& Page numbers.

Can anyone tell me about the 'FR' no. & whether it's a Baptism for a 2 yr old child or does it mean someting else.

On the same page is a William born 7 mths earlier, his listing has the FR391 numbers only. Nothing else.

I'd welcome any ideas please.
