I have tried unsuccessfully to find a baptism record for both the above children on the IGI and on ScotlandsPeople. The IGI via HughWallis gives the batch number for St Vigeans 1820-1855, but no sign of my two children. Is it likely that on BOTH SP and the IGI they would be omitted from the index, but on the film or is it more likely they weren't recorded at all, or born elsewhere?

Both died in Australia. The Tombstone for Jane says born Crail, Scotland (which I have also searched), but I thought the parent information when aged 2, would be better than sibling information when aged 63.

Any comments or suggestions very welcome

I they are not in the IGI or SP, then the overwhelming probability is that they are not in the C of S records.

They might not have been recorded at all, or (less likely) they might be in the registers of the Roman Catholic, Episcopal, or one of the Free churches.
