Thanks Annie

Ive found Mark this evening.

He married Janet Brounlee 5th jan 1812 in hamilton, lanarkshire. She was expecting at the time and gave birth to a son also called mark may 1812 in hamilton. after that the trail on all 3 goes cold.

Hmm...that's a pity!

Just wondering if you tried a search with forename only & surname beginning 'H' as there are as you now know different spellings?

'What were the names of Margaret's children?'

Do you have access to 'Fancestry'?

Hi Annie

I used to use Ancestry but my subscription ran out last year and at the moment i'm spending about £30 a week on Scotland's People.

Do you have anything else on William that might lead me in the right direction.If not dont worry. Thanks for everything so far everyone

Hi All

Hoping to follow up on this post.

The William on Ancestry is part of the family but not the one I'm looking for.

I can't find Mark or his Brother William anywhere - But I came across this link

https://convictrecords.com.au/ships/layton/1839

And the dates tie in

Were they both criminals who were transported?

Anyone any ideas how I can investigate this?
