I'm trying to confirm who is the father for Alexander Christison died 1820 Edinburgh, Professor of Humanity, University of Edinburgh for whom there are 2 possible Birth/Baptism at Longformacus.
I have researched the Redpath baptism as he has been mentioned as having a connection there.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Christisonhas him as both 1851 and 1853
https://www.classicsandclass.info/product/204/(1760-1830) both of which are incorrect.
