Don't think so as there's a William that fits living in Langholm in 1841 - a wool sorter, wife is Agnes.

Thanks Gadget,

Was searching him when you replied but had my doubts given the area although any possible is worth checking out 

Nothing on findagrave either sadly.

Gadget, can you make out the area William & Mary are 'in' on the baptism for William?

Closest I can find is Mouswold but it doesn't look like that?

Re Mouswold..."The land belonged to the Clan Carruthers up to the 16th century"

I think it's Mossknows or something like that - Scotlands Places or NLS maps might show it.

My comp is updating & keeps cutting off so I'm getting nowhere fast

I've had a problem with FindMyPast yesterday and today. The other sites don't seem to be a problem though, so can get around it. It's my Welsh lines that are being slowed down

And...always when you find something of interest 

This from 1802 (may be related)?
