Hello soosan and a warm [TS_welcome] The parents’ marriage is there, right enough, on 1 April 1826 and father Andrew’s birth/baptism in 1806, but I don’t see the birth records for any of the children that one sees in the family on the censuses.

There is way too much information for me to type it out on the forum, so I have downloaded the im...
