• Archibald looks to have been the 1st born son, so may have been named after his paternal grandfather (Scottish naming pattern). On the 1851 census, Archibald RAMAGE appears in Wiston & Roberton Parish on census record No. 2 for that parish, in house #21 named Clydesbridgeuch (last 3 letters not clear on film). Residents are Archibald 63 = b. 1788, married, grocer and dealer in cloth, born in Crawford; wife Agnes 57 = b. 1794, married, born Crawfordjohn; Thomas 32 = b.1819, unmarried, occupation “ag. lab.” [agricultural laborer], born in Crawfordjohn. On the 13 Jun 1855 record of son Thomas’s marriage, Archibald’s occupation is given as “tea dealer”, and his wife’s maiden name as LAW.
