Hi Dwalin

On IGI I can see an extracted entry from OPRs matching SP:

ARCHABALD MARSHALL     
     Christening:     19 JUN 1788      Torphichen, West Lothian, Scotland
   Parents: Father:  JAMES MARSHALL Mother: MARGRATE HAMELTON

I can't see the entry with Betty H?

thank you so much for looking.but
   i hate to say this but i can not find it now.

wonder if i have been doing to many searches and have lost the plot.
think i will do a bit of digging.
thank you again

There is a James and Betty/Elizabeth Hamilton couple around the same time but they're in Shotts, Lanarkshire having lots and lots of babies (34 entries, actual and submitted but no Archi)!

  34 wow thats is a lot.
i think i might have got muddled up somewhere im so sorry to have wasted your time if i have.
doing the searches does get to be a bit addictive lol.
please accept my thanks for looking.
this site needs a lost the plot page for sad people like me.
thanks again
