So far only those two births are coming up.  Will check further.  Do you have the marriage certificate for James and Hellen??

Karenlee

[carol80]

No I have no certificates for this family.

Not much on the marriage certificate sorry...... just that on April 15th 1804 James Johnson and Helen Hunter were fined 10 ( not sure of currency for this time in Scotland )  for an irregular marriage.  No parents or witnesses etc.  Bit of a blow that... but will keep trying.

Still only the 2 daughters born to James and Hellen that I can find.

Oh a bit of Scandal. 
As they went on to have two children i guess the marriage was not illegal.
