Biography

In the 1841 Census the wife is showing as Margaret. But there is a Mary Trail in the house and Andrew is listed as the father and James as age 2 in Strichen which is where he is listed as being born. His WikiTree birthdate of 1840 seems to be an estimate. Scotland's People has the child's birth as May 26, 1839 for Andrew and Ann.

So Andrew's birth calculated from census is 1801

They disappear from census in 1851 and 1861 so set death as before 1851 which makes no sense because they have children being born later than that.
