CaroleW,
            Thanks for getting the AXTELL's back to the early 19th Cent, I'll pass on the info that there is a tree on Ancestry

                       Many thanks for the swift replies, took me by surprise !

 As you identified, I meant Horsham, Surrey

 also, Elise died "1979" Byfleet, Surrey

Many thanks for all the help, I'll pass that on to the father-in-law, he'll be over the moon about the French connection !
   

Ciderdrinker,
                  That's interesting, as there is no mention (by Betsy, in the bible) of her brother getting married again or any mention of Margaret Davidson or Nellie.
                  Strange, as you find them living at Roadside Largie, probably in the house Grandma Isabella had been living in, with Isabella and John, yet Betsy clearly lives in a house/cottage at Roadside Largie, as well, with her husband William GIBSON, and she is a dressmaker as well !
                   As you highlight, William and Margaret seem past their peak for having another child, perhaps it's some other relatives child ?
                   
Great work you've done on this for me, very grateful,

Ciderdrinker,
                 Re William BLACK, b-1838, he married Mary HOSEA (b-1846 Marykirk) in 1872 at Seaton of Usan, whilst he was a ploughman at Lochside, Montrose and she was a Domestic Servant at Seaton of Usan, he gave his age as 32 at that time?

                 William went on to have a family of six children, that you identified earlier, though the eldest, (William b-1867), was born five years before his mother married William in 1872.

                 Mary died aged 39yrs in 1887 whilst at East Balhagarty Farm, Garvock, no mention in the bible of him remarrying, he would have been knocking on in age by then, especially for those times!

                 Where's the family tree that you refer to ?  I could probably add a lot of later stuff in particular to it ?

regards,

Ciderdrinker,
                  Whilst I was replying to Forfarians post, you have been doing all that research, thanks for the warm welcome, I'm the one from Bristol, I should be the 'ciderdrinker' !
                  Do the details I sent Forfarian, make any difference to what you've sent me, haven't had a chance to take it all in,
