Hi Angus

This looks like the family in 1861:

John Wilson 56, farmer of 65 acres
Hellen Wilson 47
Isabella Wilson 17
John Wilson 14
Jane Wilson 12
George Wilson 10
Mary Ann Wilson 8
Ann Wilson 6
John Sheilds 13 visitor b. Kinneff, Kincardineshire
William Thom 15 visitor b. Benholm
Jonathan Beattie 10, visitor b. Benholm

Address: Crossgates, Dunnottar Kincardineshire

Mary Ann and Ann's births show on IGI in 1852 and 1854 in Benholm and Dunnottar.

Youngest Ann Wilson b. 1854 is showing working away from home as a domestic servant.
