Well done Geoff,
The Jane Rea marriage in 1827 makes sense as Anne arrived in 1828.
If John was up in Dumbfriesshire and there were Hetherington's around associated with your family he may well have married Jane Hetherington at say 20 and produced Christopher when he was 25. There may have been other children too...we have always assumed William (age 40 in the 1841 Census to be John's brother) but he could well be aged between 37 and 40, born between 1801 and 1806 , an elder brother of Christopher and a son of John and Jane Hetherington This could place the marriage between John and Jane Hetherington between 1805-06 when John would have been 19-20 years old.
John must have like Jane's! He could well have met Jane Rea in Scotland (Dumbfriesshire) before or shortly after the death of his first wife (remember she is a Scot; I wonder if the Rea's were farmers for whom he worked so it is worth looking for them in the Scottish records) and then moved to Stapleton and married her. Or they met in Stapleton .
