Hi Lindemann

Just as a possibility for you to consider. There is a couple, John Davidson and Susan Little, having children in the right time/place on submitted IGI entries here www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

1. Mary DAVIDSON b. 11 MAR 1803 Carterton, Hutton And Corrie, Dumfries
2. Susan DAVIDSON b. 31 JUL 1814 Applegarth, Dumfries
3. Betty DAVIDSON b. 2 DEC 1816 Applegarth, Dumfries
4. John DAVIDSON b. 23 OCT 1821 Applegarth, Dumfries

Thanks, but still no Margaret b c 1808.  From the census in Skye her place of birth is listed as Dumfries and from your information there seems to be a gap, 11 years,  between the first born and the second child.  Perhaps some information was missing..always an optimist.

You will, more often than not, find gaps in the registers (if you are lucky enough to find anything at all!). Lots of reasons for this: families moving around, registers lost or destroyed over the years etc.

You have potentially as you say an 11 year gap for this couple's children. In 1851, Margaret gives her birth place as Hutton, Dumfriesshire which could fit well with the birth we have on IGI for a Mary (Mary DAVIDSON b. 11 MAR 1803 Carterton, Hutton And Corrie, Dumfries).

Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk only seem to have the four entries showing on IGI.
