I always have problems using FS......for some reason I always get 100's of records returned.

I suppose I could try the 1841 census for an Alexander with wife Margaret.

Searching Scotland People brings back a possible 3 or 4 marriages.

Also searching deaths of Alexander with wife Margaret....and various census
Fincken - Hartlepool, London, Germany
Goodchild - Hartlepool, Kent, Suffolk
Wadrop - Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Trimdon, Jarrow
Forsyth - Hartlepool, Scotland, Ireland, USA
Hazlewood - Hartlepool
Scollen - Hartlepool, Trimdon, Ireland
Tose -  Hartlepool

SP birth for William 1823 clearly shows her surname as Aitken

By 1841 one or both could be dead - see my reply above re: 1841 entry

IMPORTANT

That 1823 birth was registered in Bothwell Lanarkshire - not Stirlingshire/St Ninians

Thanks for that info.

Using Bothwell and looking for Margaret and Alexander I get one returned result.

In terms of marriages the only Margaret Aitken to Marry a Forsyth was 1808 and that was a Andrew in Barony.

Just widening the search a little by taking first names out.

There was a great deal of uncertainty in your previous posts - are you absolutely sure you are now researching the right family?

The point I was making in my earlier reply is that you state

However - you are now researching a William Forsyth born St Ninians Stirlingshire which does not tie in with a Lanarkshire birth

They have it as St Ninians. They also have a sister to William called Helen who married another William Forsyth!!! His parents are James Forsyth and Jane Aitken.
