Following-up Elizabeth Innes' father, John Innes ..
it looks as if Elizabeth was a birth from a first marriage c. 1810 in Tain, Ross and Cromarty (or illegitimate), and then John went to Greenock where he married Agnes Service.
There is no record of an Elizabeth Innes birth/christening c. 1810 in Tain to John Innes in either GRO or IGI. She may have been christened with her mother's name, if illegitimate, or not recorded at all.
However a christening record for John Innes provides another Great x n Grandfather plus his parents as Great x n+1 Grandparents !
