EV, Many thanks.

I have them plus all the other billy lids.

I just hope with so many kids a few may still be alive and kicking.

Kind regards

Have you seen the original entries for these baptisms in the parish registers? The locations are very scattered and would make me suspicious if the actual entries were not to be checked. Leith is in Midlothian, Cullen and Deskford are miles away in Banffshire. Udny is in the middle of Aberdeenshire. Any movement like that would require a very particular occupation for the father. What did Peter Charles do?

Hi GR2,

I have not seen the original entries.

Peter Charles was a gardener.

A gardener might move about the country for employment. You should really look at the original entries (check the free Family Search site first, then use the Scotland's People site ). The originals will give you addresses and perhaps point you to his employers etc.

I have just checked the on-line catalogue of the National Archives of Scotland. There are two bundles of papers in the Seafield Papers about the gardens at Cullen House, including references to apprentices and notes of instructions given to Peter Charles the gardener.
