Hi Margaret,
Since I'm transcribing these, let me use this page as an example.
The first one records a Mortcloth rental for the burial of the infant
Margaret Wark. The infant Mortcloth rental at that time and place was
1 shilling, 10 pence.
The second one was also a Mortcloth rental, adult, second best, at 6
shillings 8 pence.
The 3rd one was a fee of 2 shillings 6 pence for the reading of Banns
prior to marriage.
The fourth one was also a burial, but being poor, no moneys were
received for the Moprtcloth.
The rest on that first half of the page were like those above.
The second half of the page records payments to poor people by the
parish.
Hope that helps.

Jim Bundy
