I'm trying to confirm who is the father for Alexander Christison died 1820 Edinburgh, Professor of Humanity, University of Edinburgh for whom there are 2 possible Birth/Baptism at Longformacus.
I have researched the Redpath baptism as he has been mentioned as having a connection there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Christison
has him as both 1851 and 1853

https://www.classicsandclass.info/product/204/
(1760-1830) both of which are incorrect.

1751 - 1820

I have located 6 possible children for them.

~~~~~~~~---------------------
I have a copy of these 2 Birth/Baptisms. There is no mothers name mentioned for either.
CHRISTIAN ALEXANDER ALEXANDER CHRISTIAN/ M 03/05/1751 750 10 / 208 LONGFORMACUS
Father Alexander Christison is of Muirton.
I have not researched them.
and
CHRISTISOON ALEXANDER JOHN CHRISTISOON/ M 09/05/1753 750 10 / 208 LONGFORMACUS

There are a couple of mentions that Alexander Christison had 6 siblings, I have located 6 for the 1753 Alexander with father John of Redpath.
Parents are John Christison and Mary Lyle. Her surname was Lille when married 1752 Longformacus .

James Christison 1754  Longformacus (James Alexander in the index- Alexander has a line through it), father John in Redpath.

Agnes Christison 1760 Cockburnspath

The Scotland Census records I have purchased are of the full page.
1911 Census is 2 page format.

I know very little about Scottish records.  If this hasn’t already been mentioned, is it possible to view other transcription records from the same page?  When I’ve found confusing details from Canadian records for a particular ancestor, I’ve noticed that there are several discrepancies on the page (for other individuals).

Personal Ancestral File (PAF). Last updated in 2013 and no longer supported.
I've tried other software and I keep going back to PAF.

Thanks Gadget for the link.
