Thanks, have gone back and corrected that in both previous messages. I'll try SP again but I never seem to have any luck with it.

Is that the actual image from SP

Not sure where it came from to be honest was sent to me by someone who quoted the entry. It may well have been taken from the site http://www.dun.org as it does list all entries for anyone of the name Dun, Dunn, Din. and it is the OPR entries they display.

On Arthurs death record it gives his deceased fathers occupation as shoemaker.

I cant see any William/Barbara combinations of the right age on any census

You are correct, after the marriage it's as if they fall off the face of the earth for 19 years, with nothing to say where they have been since the marriage. They suddenly show up in Glasgow with Arthur and Barbara 1818- 20 and then fall off again, talk about keeping a low profile....seems strange they had gone so long without children and then suddenly they have two in a short period of time. I'm begining to wonder if they may have had children earlier who have died and handling the loss may have been cause for moving to Glasgow to make a new start.

Thanks to all of you for the efforts and suggestions you have made. I really do have a number of questions on this marriage that will remain unanswered by the looks of it. ( even though I managed to get it down to Church of Ease for marriage ) I went to see if there was a chance of something being found in the IGI and went through all of Aberdeen ( all the counties listed ) for the time period covering 1801 and was amazed that when I searched under the marriages I could find " NOTHING " for either William Dunn or Barbara Thomson when using their surnames.

Either I am under a massive cloud of confusion or there's a skeleton in someone's cupboard whose really tying to put me off on this search. I'm not sure if I can even find a death notice for William that could set me off on an age to look for. Too bad they didn't have a telephone directory then. I could just look him up and give him a call and ask what the hell he's playing at. with all this mystery. ( must think he's James Bond or something.) 

Never heard of Freecen..... Is it a common site if I use google or do you have a link you could supply to point me in the right direction.
