Title: William McCracken aged 8 on 1841 census Ballantrae
Post by: josey on Wednesday 19 July 23 19:56 BST (UK)

1841 census Ballantrae: Samuel 50 ag lab  Ireland & Jean Skilling 50 BIC, their son Alexander 15 NBIC, Mary Garrat 4 BIC [she is the daughter of Eilzabeth Skilling - daughter of Samuel and Jean - who is living elsewhere] & William McCracken 8 BIC.

I can find no baptism or burial for William on SP or familysearch or further censuses with a William McCracken born in Ayrshire. There are several born in Wigtownshire.

Can any other eyes find a baptism, burial or census for him please? My thoughts are that he MAY be another of Elizabeth's children and may have died before the 1851 census.

Thanks as ever.
