I just recently discovered this branch of my family and was wondering if anyone else can connect to it. Marion (marrion/marron) Morrisson and John Dodds married About 1810, Glasserton, Wigtown (no marriage record) Marion Dodds, nee Morrison born About 1790, Glasserton, Wigtown, Father possibly Alexander Morrison (no birth record) John Dodds born about 1785 Ireland (no birth record) Children of Marion and John Dodds Extracted entry's from IGI (Batch Number C118852) -John Dodds, Chnd. 14 Aug 1809 -John Dodds, Chnd. 3 May 1810 -Margaret Hannay Dodds, Chnd. 5 Aug 1811 -Agnes Dodds, Chnd. 24 Mar 1812 -Thomas Dodds, Chnd. 2 May 1814 -Margaret Dodds, Chnd. 7 Aug 1816 -Ann Dodds, Chnd. 1 June 1819 (Batch Number C118854) -James Dodds, b. 3 May 1810 -Ann Dodds, b. 1818 -John Dodds, b. 25 July 1821 -Elizabeth Dodds, b. 6 July 1823 -Elisabeth Dodds, Chnd. 12 Jan 1825 -Marrion Dodds, b. 23 Oct 1825 -Robina Dodds, Chnd. 5 Apr 1831 -Marion Dodds, Chnd. 15 Aug 1835 Submitted Entry (File Number 458100) -William Dodds, Chnd. 22 Feb 1823 I am confused because there is a birth entry for James Dodds (C118854) on 3 May 1810 and there is also a Christening entry for a John Dodds on 3 May 1810 (C118852). Both of these entry's are extracted so therefore should be reliable however it seems strange to me that they would have one son christened on the day that the mother gave birth to another son. Is it possible that it is the same son ? Also, Is the 2 entry's for Ann Dodds; born 1818, christened 1 June 1819, for the same daughter or was their possibly 2 Ann's born within a year of one another ? Same again for Eli(z)abeth b. 6 July 1823 and Eli(s)abeth chnd. 12 Jan 1825, 2 daughters or 1 daughter christened late ? I do have the family on the 1841 census and the 1851 census but there is a lot of difference's in their ages so that doesn't help much. 1841 Census, Glasserton, Wigtownshire (Freecen) Address - Drumrae John Dodds, M, 50, Farmer, b.

Glasserton, Wigtownshire Jane Dodds, 13 Thomas Dodds, 9 William McCulloch, 9 Mary McCulloch, 9 Unfortunately, i do not have the individual entry's for the children in Marion's houshold (1861) but i believe they may be grandchildren as my GGGG Grandmother Marion Dodds (chnd. 15 Aug 1835) married James McCulloch (3 Mar 1854, Kilmarnock). However, i have been unable to find any birth entry's for these kids. As you can see i have quite a few gap's to fill here, i would love to hear from anyone else who may be descended from these Dodds. I would also appreciate any suggesions any one could give me. Thankyou, Debbie
