Hi Kirsty, and thanks for replying!
Sadly their marriage entry in the OPR is very scanty - just basic names and a date, and Charles' burial is not recorded in the OPR and he died before 1855. Helen's death cert. gives basic info saying Charles was a crofter and deceased, and although I know there is a headstone in Kirkinner kirkyard, I don't have any way at present of visiting to get a picture. The children have no middle names other than their daughter Mary, who was lumbered with the name Mary van Agnew McDowall, bless her heart. I'm looking into the name Agnew, but no luck yet.
