Need evidence of death of younger son George.
Perhaps two father Williams? There are several Williams and their children in this parish at this time. Though 14 children are spaced feasibly.

Might I also suggest adding Jannet(1740) andAnn(1742)to the family, and if you are including Geo(1737) then might Jane(1725) and Jane(1726) be included?
My questions 1: Whether Jean (mother of George's children in all records) is the Jane (Johnston) buried with him as his wife? 2: Where families so faithful to one church likely to change in the next generation? George(1660)+Eliz, then William(1699)+Blanch all at Kirk Andrew then suddenly those of George(1739) all at Gretna...!? (Did the housekeeper get special rates for her cousin or have I got the wrong end of something?
If I'm wrong on these let me know in due course, I'm of chasing William(1660) in Rothbury????
