Hi Gordon, While I'm able to find the 1st listing you post for David TENNANT, W, 67, labourer, b Bathgate, I'm not finding the 2nd David TENNANT, 32, salesman of bottled drinks, b Lanarkshire Old Monkland unless ancestry.com doesn't have it. I don't get it; don't understand why it's not showing up. I'll keep hammering at it. Thank you for finding it; I agree the 2nd looks more likely to be Isabella's family.
