Sorry I haven't replied sooner.
Yes Alexander did take his 2 young children over to Scotland for the wedding. They are on the passenger list leaving Tasmania & I found them in the 1841 census the right ages  staying at "Mansion House of Torbreck"(WWW.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl) but no Alexander on the list (may be he was out with Magdaline that night). I dont know what date the census was taken but they would have arrived in Scotland April some time I think.
Does anyone know anything about the House of Torbreck? As the marriage was in Kirkhill is this house near by. I have had a look but nothing concrete yet, will keep on looking.
