Lancefield, Kirkcudbright
Walker Stevenson, 34, ships carpenter
Marion, w, 35,
Marie/Maria, d, 6
John, s, 5
Margaret, d, 3
Mary Jane, 1

All born Kirkcudbright

Now has Anne become Marion or did Anne die and the older two girls are with grandparents

Two marriages for a Walker Stevenson:

21 Jan 1849, Borgue, KKD to Agnes Houston

17 April 1854, Kirkcudbright, KKD to Marion Sharpe

It looks very much as if Anne/Agnes might have died in childbirth or something and Walker remarried - conjecture but looks strongly possible.
