General Notes:
"SS THOMAS APOSTLE & GEORGE MARTYR
Endowed with £8 16s 8d on 18 Apr. 1491 by Thomas Prat, burgess of Aberdeen, the chaplain was held to be present at the canonical hours of the choir, to make personal residence within the burgh and to hold no benefice, chaplainry or service outwith the parish church. If he was so promoted, the chaplainry was to be regarded as void. Patronage was to be retained by the patron and his heirs, in default of whose presentation within forty days the gift for that turn should pass to the provost and baillies. Should the chaplain fail in service in choir or at altar for forty days continuously, he was to be deprived. The gift passed to Prat's heiresses and their spouses. On 23 Apr. 1539 Robert Cullen appears as patron for that turn, giving possession to Mr Alexander Cullen. On 1 Aug. 1560 Elizabeth Prat, one of the daughters of late Thomas Prat appears as one of the two patronesses of the altar." (page 285)

Robert married Elizabeth PRAT, daughter of Thomas PRAT and Unknown. (Elizabeth PRAT was born about 1518 and died after 1 August 1560 2.)
Marriage Notes:
On Coupar' s death in 1539, possession of the service was given to Mr Andrew Cullen, the son of the provost, by Elizabeth Prat's first husband, Robert Cullen. In turn, on his death, Elizabeth presented sir William Walker, evidently a kinsman of her late second husband." (page 142)
