The children's names don't help us very much at all in this one Monica  Notice that Peter is with an Eliza (not sure if wife or not - could be a sibling if the other children's ages are anything to go by) - could this be a poss McCrae. There were lots in that area - I have one myself 
Also, my names were odd from here as well - often local dignitaries, etc.
I haven't found a Helen Blain on the 1841 yet.

He aged 
He was down as 20 -24 in the 41. Children's names are more or less the same - Jean becomes Jessie, etc.
Spect the marriage was an irregular again, Monica
We really do need to try and get a handle on Letitia though. I think I've exhausted all possibilities of names in the death searches. Wonder if the Kirk Session's minutes would have anything in about possible pauper's burials - or had it been transferred by then?

Not sure about the Kirk Session minutes, Gadget. I have only seen what is on the Dumgal site and they stop around the 1830s. I have a feeling for Letitia, if she was the last of her line, even if we find a death cert for her (and like you I have drawn a blank - even looked across the border on Freebmd) it may well have no more details than we already have re the IGI birth entry or probably nothing for parents (won't be certain until checked of course!).

Peter Lamont was certainly brother to William. He died in 1885 in Kirkmaiden. Parents William Lamont, Lead Miner and mother Janet Pollock, both deceased.
Wife Grace McClive still alive until 1887.

I'm amazed by you two - you've been really hard at work, and once again I can't thank you enough! (Do you mind if I ask where you are getting all this information from)?
I read your posts on page two over a few times, trying to get my head around your findings - then I discoved you're onto page three! I'd just got as far as understanding the posts up to the 1841 census with Peter, Eliza, (I also thought these two may be siblings) and kids. The 2 year old Peter MAY be the line I am chasing. He is the son of William Lamont and Margaret Blain born/christened 1838. Perhaps Peter (age 20-24) may be brother to William and uncle to young Peter?
I think I'd better go away and digest all this ... I'm getting all excited and confused and I need to sit alone in a quiet room to get this straight in my brain. I'll be back later .... a million thanks Monica and Gadget.
