It was meant as only one possibility, of perhaps dozens or more scenarios. I have just now seen old queries posted by your Barry, and in them he is quite uncertain of the name of Alexander being correct. How do you even know the 1820 birth date is correct? Usual Scottish child naming patterns would indicate other than Alexander. The road forward is still the same – you need confirmed hard source data from a government or other recognized source, not here-say or wishful thinking. A name, a place and a date have not been confirmed in this manner. Back to the drawing board time. Larry
