'CAUTIONER' IN SCOTS MARRIAGE

In marriage narratives in Old Parish Registers, as is found here for this couple, 'caur' is an abbreviation for 'cautioner'.
According to Kathleen Cory in Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry this word means 'surety; sponsor (pronounced "kayshoner"-"kay" as in "day")'
The Scotsman newspaper also defines it thus:
'A person who is described in a Scottish legal document as a "cautioner" is someone who stood as surety or as a guarantor for the main named party, also sometimes referred to as the debtor. In this context the debt for which the cautioner stood as surety needn't be a financial one, but it could also be to guarantee the performance of an act, the delivery of goods, or for the performance of the duties of an office.'
