Robert Jackson - born Canonbie about 1813 -16

[Wilkinson]

Hello All,
Looking for any information on a Robert Jackson. According to the 1841-81 Scotland Census information  he was born in Canonbie. Using the census ages to calculate his year of birth gives a range from 1811 to 1816 ish?  I know he married Margaret Jackson (nee Hutton) in June 1838 in Ewes. Margaret was born in Roberton. First child William was born in Ewes in December 1839 and second son John in December 1840 .  Later children include Jennet (Janet) 1843, Thomas 1845, Elizabeth 1847, Margaret 1843, Robert 1855, Isabella and Margaret Aitken Jackson 1857 these children listed as born in Castleton. They lived variously at Larriston Rigg, Dinlaybyre Cottage, Langhaugh Smithy. Initially the father Robert was an agricultural labourer but became a woodman/forester.
I've  not been able to get any definitive information on Robert's birth and parentage and if anyone can help I would be grateful.
Thanks,  Rob.
