Thomson in Haddington 30 May 1819. Children: If this was indeed "my" Alison Thomson, children were: Janet, b. 27 March 1822 James, b. 15 April 1824 George, b. 21 July 1826 Agnes, c. 15 July 1828 John, b. 18 May 1830 Grace, b. 17 August 1832 In the 1851 census, Susan Thomson, age 10, is a boarder with Grace Wait(my great great grandmother) in North Berwick.(713, Enumeration District 2, page 12). This would make sense if Alison Wait Thomson died in 1842 as noted above. The informant in Grace Wait's death in 1870 is Susan Thomson, niece. There is an Alison Wait (Mrs. John Th???) who died July 1842 and is buried in St. Mary's Parish Churchyard. Sam Wait
