This seems to be them, courtesy of FREECEN in 1841
Engine Street Bathgate.
William Todd aged 50 Grocer born West Lothian Jessie Todd aged 15 born West Lothian William Todd aged 13 born West Lothian John Todd aged 7 born West Lothian.
No sign of Isabella, his wife, or children Robert and David.
This then appears to be the family in 1851.
Engine Street Bathgate.
William Tod aged 62, widower, born Livingston West Lothian, Occupation Labourer Grocer.
Janet Tod aged 28, daughter, unmarried, born Bathgate West Lothian, Occupation Shopkeeper.
William and John not showing in West Lothian in 1851.
There is a birth of a William Tod on the IGI. Parents John Tod and Vilot Lithgow in Livingston. Date of Birth 12 Apr 1789.
A quick check on www.Scotlandspeople.gov.uk shows the death of a William Tod (watch the spelling, only one d in Tod) He died in 1858 in Bathgate and his mother's surname was Lithgow. The informant may well be a family member.
