okay are these all the children of William Linklater and Margaret Brown...if they are it seems like the middle names give clues to previous generations ... hopefully

Parents NATHAN CANTLEY &  MARGARET MOAR

Gadget will know more...but I think the mothers maiden name  is given as middle name to the child on occasions in Scotland?  This is a good bet that his mother is Grissel Smith, or is it his grandmother, late... losing the plot already

mother's name or some other ancestor's name is often used - I've got surnames from both sides in my lines 

Also Margaret could be More/Moar or Muir (and other variations). Muir was fairly common in Orkney at one time.
