A quick Google search throws up this. Unsure if it relates to the same man.

or theft. - http://www.users.bigpond.com/nyoraton/horsburgh/miscell.sco.html

Thanks Joe for the census info - very helpful. Now i know where he was and what he was doing at that time

Hume - that is a find. I am sure it is the same one so off to have a good look at that

Thanks to you both

Thanks again Hume

Alexander (1816) is hubby's GGG Grandfather so need to find all I can

Tried contacting the owner of that site a couple of years ago and was told we weren't that closely related so he wouldn't keep in touch - 

Might still get some info from there though as he seems to have updated it quite a bit
