I recently sent an message containing the wrong dates relating to William Lain. Apologies for that. The followoing is what should have been sent:   According to the 1841 census, William Lain is recorded as 10 months old and living in 12 Hermitage Place, St Cuthbert's - Midlothian. ( father John Lain and mother Helen)   I need to get information regarding his birth.   If anyone is researching this time period in the relevant parish registers, would it be possible for them to look up this information, as they are doing their own research?   I have also drawn a blank for the whole of the family in the 1851 census - so any helpful pointers would be very much appreciated   I live in Plymouth, and am happy to look up records in my local library if this is helpful to anyone.   Kind regards   Avril

Avril, In addition to what Rhoda gave you, the following info was obtained via the LDS/FHC information system. The correction of dates you did in your second message made sense of the files listed below pre 1841. I did not find your William but two other children show up, Helen and John Christopher. If it is the correct family you now have the Mothers surname "Allan". Hope the data helps with your research.

Hello Avril I have been unable to find the birth on the Scotlands People birth index (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk). As the parents were both English-born, it is likely that had the children baptised in a Church other than the Church of Scotland. The baptism registers on the Scotlands People website are those of the Church of Scotland. However the Deaths and Burials Index (pre-1855) lists the deaths in the St Cuthbert's Parish of Edinburgh of Alexander Wood Lain (1843) and Grace Hill Lain (1844). I had a look at the image relating to Grace. She was the daughter of John Lain and died of fever at 9 Haugh Street, Edinburgh on 1 October 1844. She was 14. There was one other Lain listed in Edinburgh. A Janet Lain who died in 1844. I couldn't find John Lain or his wife Helen on the statutory registers death index (1855 onwards). So they either died before 1855 and are not on the index, or they didn't die in Scotland. I will send you the image of Grace's entry in the death register off-list.

Hello Rhoda   Apologies for not replying until now.
