Trish, The IGI has 2 more children for this family, Alexandrina and William George, also it has Baillie as William's second name, which I am guessing is a family name, possibly his mother's. The IGI notes state this information was submitted by an LDS Church member however I found Alexandrina's birth (in 1830) in the Clyne Parish Register of Births, which makes me think the LDS Church member obtained the information from local parish records. Has anyone else had a similar experience with the IGI? Also would you know where Cambusmore was in Sutherland, I can't find it in my Gazetteer of Scotland.
