      transcription error in index:
      "OPR record, the entry after Andrew has had the 3 changed to a 5, and the one after that is 1785. Moreover, the entry before his record is dated 1784!!  It would be highly unlikely that the clerk added details two years after the event in the register,  so Andrew should chronologically read 1785."  source John Baxter, 2008

  He died due to natural causes or old age, old age and paralysis, at the age of 89 on February 13th, 1874 in Leith.
