Trying to find David Livingstone connection

[Gadget]

Trying a different angle then - can you give the names of Janet and Robert's children in birth order?  Also, what were Robert's parents called?

Added - Did Janet die in 1842, Victoria?

"24 June 1835, Gorbals - Sarah McKinzie and John Livingston"

There is a bit in Wikipedia about Listowel, Ontario mentioning John.

John and Sarah's daughter, Sarah McKenzie Livingstone married John Walden Scott in 1872, in Perth, Ontario. There is a mention of a Neil and a Henry Livingstones as witnesses.

There was a Neil Christie b July 1885, Gorbals to Robert and Janet - so a name in common

Added - APOLOGIES -I think that you might have been quoting me rather than offering it up as new info.

I'm a bit puzzled here. Nova has one or two trees up on Ancestry for the Christies and the McKenzies.

Children listed for Robert Christie and Janet McKenzie on Nova's tree are:

1835 - George Forsyth, b. Glasgow
1837 - Jessie
1839 Elizabeth McKenzie b. Edinburgh
1841 Sarah b. Victoria

I can only find the Neil, previously mentioned - b. 4. July 1835 and bpt. 2 August 1835, Gorbals. He's not mentioned on the tree but the others are 

Robert's parents listed as Thomas Christie and Margaret Mavor(?)  (No evidence on Scottish records though). Robert down as b. Edinburgh, 1806

The naming of the children don't seem to fit Robert's side at all

Added - I think that the Livingstone tree ( http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swilson/livingstone/livingstone2.htm#1835jun ) has got the Neils confused as Neil McKenzie Livingstone is recorded as being b. Gorbals 4 July 1835 but the attached from the OPR page  is for Neil Christie

I am chasing the Canadian link. John is noted as a widow in the 1881 census. He is living with his son, and grandson to their daughter Janet, who married Robert Dick in 1860.
Trying to find Sarah's death, but having problems.

And yes, your assumption was correct, I was quoting you, but no offence taken. To err is human to forgive is devine, and it's nearly Christmas.

Yes - I gave up on Sarah's death and moved to the Australians.  I'd carefully typed out the 1861-1881 Ontario censuses and then found that they were already listed on the Livingstone tree http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~swilson/livingstone/livingstone2.htm#1835jun   

So far no link between the McKenzie girls

Thanks for all your help!

The information on the Christie/McKenzie  children is correct. The parents information on Robert Christie is not but is all I have at this stage.  I know  he had  a sister called Allison married to a Forsyth and living in Glasgow and this is how I linked him to that family, but have no other evidence and his birth date doesn't fit with them, so I need to do a bit more research there.

I have gone through all the birth records for Janet McKenzies and Sarah McKenzies that I can find and am yet to find any matching parents.
