Ooo fabulous.....the scrap I have is addressed to David E. Lindsay....guess the E might be Edward....he was a bit of a late surprise though? 47...that must have been a shock!

Mother Jean's maiden name of Edward/s features in a number of their children's names:

Ann Lindsay b. 7 May 1828 in in Glenisla
William Edwards Lindsay b. 2 June 1830 in Dundee
Thomas Edwards Lindsay b. 2 Nov 1832 in Dundee
Elizabeth Edwards Lindsay b. 8 June 1835 in Dundee

And then, as you say, surprise David Edward Lindsay in 1849!

Thanks very much for that 
I’m totally fascinated (and saddened) by the causes of death on that link you posted....I didn’t even know you could die of teething!!?....

I think death for a young child as a result of 'teething' was a catchall for many other possible causes of fever and illness etc. at that time.
