Hi
I have been trying to search my ancestors in Scotland and have just hit a brick wall. I have found the marriage of Donald McTavish and Jane Taylor whom was married on 16 May 1841 in Sanquhar, Dumfries.
I have also found a census record for 1841 for a Donald (25), Jane (25) and Janet (6 months) McTavish.
The family emigrated to Australia on the Wanata in Oct 1852 with children Janet, John, Sarah and Duncan.
I really just wanted to get to the next step and find their parents. On Donald McTavish death cert it states that Duncan McTavish (Farmer) was his father but mother was not stated. On Jane McTavish (Taylor) death cert it states her mother's name as Janet and father looks like it was Adam (Brickmaker).
Any information that you could give me would be most beneficial and appreciated!
Thank You 
Andrea

Ancestry's transcriptions will make us laugh and cry over the years. No idea where sangoken craig bridge is supposed to but there is this entry on IGI which is a possible for Jane, actual extracts from the OPRs:
JEAN TAYLOR Christening: 02 SEP 1792 Errol, Perth, Scotland
Parents: Father: ADAM TAYLOR Mother: JANET SCOT
One other sister shows:
AGNES TAYLOR Christening: 17 MAY 1795 Errol, Perth, Scotland
And this couple's marriage:

Monica  I have been a bit confused about a GGG Grandfather who I have seen as Daniel in one place then a Donald popped up, I thought maybe he was a brother but it fits that his name has been interchanged. See what you can learn here, thanks for that  Cheers Merideth

[b][/b]Many MacTavishes changed their names after "The Battle of Culloden 1745/46"
to "Thomson or Thompson" in order to disguise themselves and their former name.
Many Thomsons etc. are really MacTavishes. Google "Clan MacTavish" etc.
