I have copied this post over from West Lothian in the hope that I can get a bit further in my search:
I am struggling to find facts on my 2x gt grandfather, David Cunningham who married Margaret Thomson in Whitburn 1826.Her banns were called in Whitburn and his were called in Shotts. However, I cannot find a birth, death or census record for David. His wife died in Gateside, Whitburn 18 Jan 1874 and appears in all census returns before that. They had 4 children: Jean (b1826):David (b 1828): Margaret(b1830) and Catherine(b1833). Catherine married Henry Aitken of Torphichen in 1855 and her register entry shows her father as a shoemaker. That is the only other reference to him that I can find. Any pointers would be most welome.
