It might be worthwhile looking at the 2 baptisms with mother Ann Gauld to see if it records father James as a shoemaker.

I really should brush up on my BB language! I've added what I know about James Fearn and Ann Gall's children as an attachement here: www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=713884.0
And asked to keep the discussion on this thread. My main problems are:
Ann Fearn born 1838 - no sign of post 1851
Betty Fearn born 1828 - no sign of post 1841
Martha - I can find no members of the Henderson family on the 1861 census.
Stewart - agricultural labourer to druggist - not happy with that one little bit! There's an inventory for Euphemia but not sure if I'll learn anything about her husband?
Fearn/Feeron/Farn/Ferns/Feanis/  I've taken to looking for these people by F*!
Time for a glass of wine I think...

Sancti - I was going to do that but I've now got Helen's death certificate and it lists James Fearn (shoemaker) and Ann Gall as her parents.

Nice find Monica, that's looking good. I've checked the NZ index and things appear to tie in  :) Martha's grandchildren get Fearn/Fern as a middle name or as a first name. I can't find another Jessie Allan Henderson anywhere and the Martha Henderson death in NZ is spot on for her DoB.
I didn't have John born in 1856.

Wonder if David left Scotland I can't find him after 1861 when he's with his sister Helen?
I'm going back to my coloured highlighters and bits of paper - but first a run.  Getting told off for too much sitting at the computer ;D

A Stewart Fearn left an inventory in 1853 - it's long and I've only started to read through it but it's him :o The clip shows his nearest relative brother Robert in Kirriemuir.  Looks like Stewart might have married into some money...excellent 10 credits ;)

Stewart - agricultural labourer to druggist...is this his entry?

Sounds like you have the additional verification in the document. Happy 10 SP units  ;)

Tried with David, but couldn't see anything further for him so far.

Hadn't seen Annie's likely details, that is great.

Who is left in this line of siblings/children?

Monica

Added: Betty Fearn born 1828 - no sign of post 1841 - Is this the last one to find, together with any details on David?

amazingly so Monica by heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw the word 'Kirriemuir' let alone his brother Robert's details. The inventory from 1852 is very exact down to counting the spoons! Euphemia, Stewart's wife also leaves a will - it's on my list. Interesting how Stewart upped his age maybe to put it a bit more in line with his wife's!

If that's Anne in Australia :o (evidence is a bit scant from what I've been able to gleen and I don't like the naming of the children) that leaves Betty and David. At SP I searched 1833(+- 5) year for David Fearn (variants) - there are not that many - I'll see if I can eliminate some of them through the census - I've spent my monthly allowance already so I'd best whittle them down a bit ;D.

The David Fearn living Newtyle - married to Margaret White is the son of William (potential brother of James married to Ann Gall).  None of the William Fearn /Jean Lindsay children use the name David.

Except for Helen the family seem to have decamped for Glasgow or left the country.

Betty - did notice Robert called his 2nd daughter Betty born abt 1853 wonder if was after his sister? Perhaps she died young like her brother Stewart?

The entry for Robert in 1851, if I am looking at the right one, who was the 19yr old Agnes Fearn in the listing showing as a domestic servant in the house. Robert's sister Agnes, also aged 19, showed with her parents James and Ann from what has been mentioned I think.
