In 1851 I think that I have John, still living in Saltley.  He is the father of the head of the household, John Harrison aged 47, born around 1803 in Scotland, married to a Sarah with several children.

I can't find the marriage of John senior to Elizabeth.  I can't find any John Harrison born in Scotland at the right time with father John.

Not sure if you've found him~

Found an old thread about the Windsor Forresters which might be of interest:

That's brilliant!  Thank you so much, Gadget.
I still find it slightly odd that an ag. lab from Worcestershire should end up as a soldier in Scotland, but then stranger things have happened!
Maybe I'd better ask on the Perthshire board if I have any queries about the Robertsons.
I've now got all the Scottish-born children of the couple, so plenty to work on now, thanks to the assistance of clever Rootschatters  :)
