Margaret Somerville(1746-1823).

Thank you for that, but it seems that trying to find William Somerville from Carnwath ( 1683 ) might not happen as it seems to be too early for records there. Is that correct or do we need to buy credits to find those earlier records? Not sure which way to go from here.

Robert Tweedie & Margaret Somerville (Variants on SP) married 1768

Children (recorded)

Marion 1770
Katharine 1773
David 1775
Katharine 1777 (very possible the 1st Katharine died)?
Gap i.e. room for a few more?
James 1781
William 1791
John 1795

If the Scottish naming pattern was used then Margaret’s mother should be Marion/Margaret & Robert’s father should be David, mother Katharine?

You may benefit from the original images if Sponsors are recorded but each Parish had their own way of doing things i.e. no guarantee of what's on a Baptism record. I've seen some which list their genealogy with father, g/father & g g/father named!

All records on SP are indexed & free to view but to view the original docs. you need to buy credits at very low cost.

An example Marriage from SP Index;

SOMERVAILE WILLIAM - MARGARET CHRYSTIE /FR405
29/06/1680
722/20 404
Tranent

Cost to view original image (6 credits) = £1.50 BP

Credits come in batches of 30 = £7.50 which would buy 5 original docs. which is less than the cost of 1 doc elsewhere!
