Wombat Allen Thank you for your response and research,I am unsure that this is my man.I am aware of the Freecen site I know he had a children named Janet, Ann, James ,Andrew ,William,John, and was in Eastwood ,Renfrew in the 1841 census.He married Jean there in 1830 .My difficulty is I can't get back from there to his parents.Using the naming tradition ,I believe they were possibly named William and Ann.Whilst he appears here in Eastwood he anecdotally might have lived in east kilbride,where his wife went after his death.Any suggestions would be welcome.Thank you again
