I am looking for information on parents or siblings or a birth baptism or marriage record for John Dewar born Dec. 20 1821 his spouse Mary ???? born Aug 29 1823. I do not know Mary's maiden name or where in Scotland the two of them were born, I only know they were born in Scotland any help would be greatly appreciated. Beans

There are 9 birth/baptisms for John Dewar listed on Scotland's People and a similar number of marriages to a Mary.
Do you have any other information on them such as their children's names etc.

I was hoping admin could redirect this to Lanark. They had a son William born in 1849 a daughter ellen born in 1846 and a son George born in 1843. The Mother Mary's Tombstone has Mary R. Dewar. I have since found baptismal records for Carluke Lanark Scotland for George and William with the right years and the mother is Mary Russel/l with father John Dewar. The US Census has that they immigrated in 1849. and lists the three oldest children as born in Scotland. I am looking for confirmation I have the right family so I can try to find John and Mary's parents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This might confirm above replies?
The marriage is on SP but no suitable births.
DEWAR JOHN MARY RUSSEL 22/09/1843 Carluke
There is however a family in Carluke on the 1841 census which might be worth a look.
Mount Stewart, Carluke all born Lanarkshire, remember ages rounded down
One tree on Ancestry has John Dewar born on the date you state parents George & Mary Gold but no record for John on SP.
George Dewar 40 a Mason
Mary Dewar 35
Geter Dewar 20
John Dewar 15
George Dewar 15
James Dewar 12
Robert Dewar 10
Lilias Dewar 16

No Mary Russell in Carluke but not too far away.

Colin thank you for the replies everyone. How far are the ages rounded in the Scottish census?
-
Adult ages were supposed to be rounded down to the nearest 0 or 5 so 43 w0uld be 40 and 48 would be 45 but this didn't always happen
Also found a marriage of a Peter Dewar to a Lilias Russell in Carluke
and James Dewar married a Margaret Henderson also Carluke they had a daughter Mary Gold Dewar

John Dewar who married Mary Russel was the son of George Dewar and Mary Gold - John was my great x3 uncle
John and Mary had 4 children born in Scotland -a child named John was born in December 1847 and died in Feb 1848.
