I am seeking information about Agnes (or Agness) McCall born Dalkeith, Scotland, 1826. I believe her parents were John McCall b.c.1786 and Jane or Jean Howden b.c.1793

Looking at the baptism records on https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk I can see Margaret, William & John but no Agnes or Eliza?

John McCall and Jane (nee Howden) had six children who were all born in Scotland. As far as I am aware the whole family emigrated to Australia. John died in 1863 and Jane in 1878 in Sydney.

The only record for a John McCall in Midlothian below, it looks a good possibility with his father named William.

JOHN MCCALL   Baptism    WILLIAM MCCALL/ELIZABETH DICK    31/05/1790   Cockpen

Except for the one below, which seems less likely.

JOHN MACCOLL   Baptism    JOHN MACCOLL/ANNE FRASER    12/02/1790   Edinburgh

Jane is proving more difficult, none in Midlothian but below in East Lothian, 5 miles from Dalkeith. I have included the record for Janet because she may have married at Canongate the year after Jane (Jane & Jean are interchangeable in Scotland). Shame about the parents names though?

HOWDEN   JEAN   GEORGE HOWDEN/MARION BEE    10/05/1795   Ormiston
HOWDEN   JANET   GEORGE HOWDEN/MARION BEE    15/08/1796   Ormiston

They may be worth a look.

John McCall was born in 1785/6. His parents were John McCall and Jane (nee Fletcher).

Jane McCall (nee Howden) was born around 1786 - 1788. Her parents were James Howden and Jane.

I have a marriage date of 11 June, 1813 in Scotland.

Interesting to note that John McCall's death certificate states that he was born in Ireland but this may be wrong. Records indicate they emigrated to Australia in the early 1840's.
