Have a look at Richard Fair born 1834 Salton, Haddington

These transcriptions are a real problem when we can't access the original image

Hi Tricia & Monica,
 I only had 3 births and i had none of the other information and all the cenus seems to fit. I know for some reason or another names are never quite what you expect. So thank you very much for taking the time to help.
