A Term & a Place

Two questions:

1. John Qualtrough buried 10 January 1762 in Arbory is listed in the burials as "Drunman" What does this term mean?

2. Two Qualtroughs - possibly brothers - are listed in the Arbory burials as being from "The Borders", yet both were buried in Rushen. John was buried 4 January 1738 and William buried 11 August 1744. I presume The Borders are in Arbory parish, but where?

Thanks for your help
