    Default Need help on many levels with birth record

    Attached is a link to an image copy from an OPR record on Scotlandspeople:

    The 8th entry is for "Duncan John legal son of Alexander Stewart..." the next two words have me stumped.

    Apparently he was a member of the court of Queen Caroline Matilda of Denmark, sister of King George III. She died in exile in Germany in 1775. (Wikipedia article at

    wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_Matilda_of_Great_Britain


    Alexander Stewart married Anne Stewart in 1795. This birth record is from 1797. That's quite a gap. I'm thinking Alexander would have been quite young when he was serving in the Royal Court.

    So first I need help to decipher and interpret his job title. I am also taking suggestions about how to do further research on Alexander.

    Regards,
