Thank you all for such prompt responses to my query. Isabel put together the information and suggestions from Richard, Anne and Barbara and saw the additional posts from Bruce and Irene before I logged onto my computer today and sent me a nice list along with my own suspicions, determined we are most likely on the right track with Thomas Morrison and Jane Milne/Mill. Still some confirmation needed on Alexander Morrison and Agnes Wallace and their mysterious children. My lines are always making me chase them but ever hopeful of turning up new living relatives. Which leads to the thought of legal requirements on certificates in listing a surname for a child where the parents do not have a marriage certificate as it does not seem to be all that uncommon for parents to be living together and having children with a variety of surnames. Are the birth certificates for such named children likely to be in the register of corrected entries and how do they get listed on Scotlandspeople, is there any indication of a variety of surnames for 1 person. I have come across several cases where a child was named Daniel on the birth cert but is only ever called Donald by the family. I have a great uncle that I discovered was Daniel on his birth cert after years of looking for him as Donald. Once again thank you for your assistance and look forward to any other thoughts on this family. Arlene Victoria BC
