I have been hunting for the births of Margaret, William and Richard Kay, aged 16, 13, and 11 in the 1841 census at High St. Duddingston.
After one or two difficulties with SP, I found a birth for a William Kay 9th Dec. 1829.
While I do not think this is the correct one, I was puzzled by the entry which was
"Registered March 1865 on the authority of a relative warrant by Frederick Hallard Esq.,sheriff substitute of Edinburghshire, dated 3rd March 1865, signed WPDundas Registrar General
the above entry was transcribed by me at Portobello
on the 9th March 1865
Alex Paterson .................registrar"
Can anyone suggest what might have been happening here? There are other similar entries.

Thank you! I am not sure who their parents were. My gt gt gr father Joseph was born in Tynemouth, as was his sister. His brother John was born in Newcastle on Tyne, where their parents, John Kay and Margaret Watson were married, at St. John's in Grainger Street.
I am not aware of any relatives in Edinburgh.
The 3 older children are obviously not Joseph and Anns, but the younger 2 may be.
They were John age 1, and Margaret age 2 mths.
I can not find their births in SP.
