I see from a copy of the 1871 Census of Traquair, there is a : Jardine WALLACE 37, Minister and his wife, Agnes M. age 37, and their children: Robert, Jardine, MAry E., Ida. I know there was a little Traquair Church, as I have a picture of it. I don't recognise any of the names you mentioned. Thought this might interest you, Barbara (Harper) Logan in BC, Canada.
