ABERLADY: From the village in the parish of the same name in East Lothian. Robertus de Abirlevedi and Henricus his brother are witnesses in an Inchcolm charter, c. 1229—1236 (Inchcolm, p. 13). In 1333 William de Aberlady was one of the jurors on an inquisition made at Aberdeen (REA., I, p. 54), and in 1342, probably the same indivdual, as William de Aberlefdy, bailie of the burgh of Aberdeen, is witness to "carta Thome Bonere super elimosina Mariote Bonere" (ibid., I, p. 72). In the Register this second entry is wrongly indexed under Aberfeldy, the indexer not being aware that Aberlefdy is an old spelling of the place name Aberlady.
