Thanks for the suggestions and guidance on how to treat this problem. Michael Hait, I agree 100% that we should post nothing rather than post something wrong. The problem is the information has already been posted on FamilySearch Family Tree so we were trying to avoid that wrong information being perpetuated. Thanks to others for suggestions about the interchangeability of Jean and Jane which can very much sound alike. And, with spelling being so fluid until recent times, it makes sense that they could be interchanged. I did, in fact, go back through my notes. It had been a while since I had looked at this family as these ancestors were the first that I began researching when I started my family history. I found a note that the mother had been enumerated in the 1871 census as Jane. I didn't have a digital copy of this census, so pulled out my paper copy. Sure enough, both she and her mother are enumerated as Jane even though baptismal and birth registers show Jean. And, Janet is not listed in the household but "Jane" and Alexander, a 5 year old grandson, to the head of household are also listed. So for now, we will attach Alexander to Jane/Jean since he is the direct ancestor of my cousin. We will do a little more searching to find out what happened to Janet. Did she die or was she working outside the home? And James, the other boy died as an infant so it is a matter of separating Jean/Jane from Janet to assign him to the right mother. Finally, I also got out a Scottish research book and learned that Kirk records might give information on who the father is although, unfortunately, there don't seem to be any kirk records for this area at the FHL. Will have to see if they do exist in Scotland. Thanks again, Margie in Washington State
