HI There,
Just a quick look I found this family......(I know this little John..is 10yrs old but it is a possiblity..and the father is JOhn and a Joiner....which can be a cabinetmaker)
Also Halfmorton is 10.2 miles from Annan..
1841 census
Halfmorton
County: Dumfriesshire
Address: Holm Head
Parish Number: 828
John Elliot 40 Joiner
Margret Elliot 40
Jannet Elliot 15
Andrew Elliot 14
John ElliotJunr. 10
Joseph Elliot 6
1851 Census
Homehead, Half Morton, Dumfrees
Margaret Elliot 53yrs, born Cummertrees, Dumfrees.
Joseph Elliot 16yrs, born Half Morton.
This is interesting.....Margaret is living with her daughter-in-law...Ann ...who is married to a sailor...I wonder which one of Margarets sons was a Mariner?
1861 Census
13 Cumberland Terrace Annan.
Margaret Elliot 63 Joiners Widow, born Cummertrees, Dumfriesshire
Ann Elliot, 28yrs, Daughter-in-law, Mariner (mercht Serv) Wife born Annan.
There is a Margaret Elliot or Glover who died in Annan, 1867
JOhn Elliot married Margaret Glover.
these are their children.. {you will notice that John was born 30 march not 20 march and the year was 1831 not 1834}....I hope this is your family....but there will have to be a lot more investigation..}
