After the birth of their first child David ( 1832, Troqueer, Kirkcudbright ) they moved and settled in Leeds Yorkshire England. Three more children ( Mary, William & John ) were born in Leeds.
In the 1841 Census we find them living at Chatham Street Leeds Town Yorkshire. John, 30 was a Woolen Dyer born in Scotland.

I have a death for a Mary Lawrie about the right age but it is in Halifax
June Q, 1879, Halifax, Vol 9a, page 322 aged 71
Can anyone find John and Mary on the 1871 Census or a suitable death for them.
TIA
