csc, A good thought regarding the names, but both Helen and Sophia appear to be McKellar names. There were 12 children in Helen McKellars family and she had a sister Sophia.

you could be right about alexander having a previous family there are at least 3 alexanders with families in kirkcubrightshire    dalry, parton, urr , who would fit in with his age also i see helens birth in 1836 not found till 1839  their marriage paper is oct 31st 1837  i wonder if he moved there to be with helen csc

   The Alexander families that you have found in Kirkcubrightshire-- are they in the census or are you finding them on another source ?  If they are on the census they can not be him, since he was in Dunoon/Kilmun from 1837 to 1851. Yes the birth record for Helen is questionable, particularly the not found bit. maybe it was put aside until a suitable time after the marriage. I have a feeling that you must be using familysearch.org to have found that info.
