Transcriber's notes

It is not clear whether the place name here is "Claddach Cumhang" or "Cladach Cumhang" as the second "d" has been reinserted in one of the instances where it had been crossed out. As there are only "Claddach's" not "Cladach's" elsewhere in these volumes, "Claddach" is opted for here.
