1851 Scottish census advice

What it looks like is a painted photo, not that it makes any difference of course.
The 2 soldiers are possibly Seaforth Highlanders.

Agnes, Catherine, Robert and William are still together at Bridgeton in 1861.  URQUHART spelt correctly on SP but indexed as ARGIBANT    on Ancestry.

What was William's occupation when he married?

Thanks for that tip ... I've been on the hunt for clues as to what the uniforms might be I too thought it looked like a painted photograph.

Wow ha ha ha I never would have found that one on ancestry Argibant 😂

I believe once in Australia he was working in Sheep Station creek QLD on a farm when he married in 1878. He ended up in West Australia but I'm unsure how or why.

I also found an 1871 census for a William Urquhart of same age working as a shipwright ... seeing as I've never found how he got here I wondered if it was him and if he he somehow snuck over :-)

I've foind some of his siblings passage but not his.
