I am stuck and wondering if anyone can find this woman's birthdate

Question

Janet PRESTON married Thomas NICOLL/NICOL/NICKLE/NICKEL in Tealing, Angus, Scotland i Dec 1801.  They had 5 or 6 children one of them being my 3x great grandmother Agnes Nicoll (unsure of name spelling) from her first marriage to Valentine Albright.

I tried to find her birthdate on Scotland's Peoples Site but couldn't even get to Janet Preston.  Know I had a credit of 31 so it wasn't that I couldn't afford it.

Anyone offer clues of where to look next to find Janet Preston'birth?  Also look for Thomas Nicoll's birth.

Friendly Tip: It will probably help if you add tags with the country/region, time period and edit the current smith id tag to just Smith.

Hi E. Did you go to Advanced People Search then Church Registers then Births and Baptisms? I can see four Janet Preston baptisms there between 1765 and 1785.

You only need credits to view images, not to search.

I will try again tomorrow morning to see if I can bring this up on my screen.  Unsure why I couldn't find her but kept getting locked out.  Its either my machine or its "me".  Probably the latter and missing some important step.  Thank you will see if I can find these to sort them out.
