.... looking on Familysearch there are birth of two Gavins with parents Gavin and Janet Henderson. One b 14 Jan 1844 chr 25 Jan 1844. Obviously died.
Another Gavin with same parents b 18 Jul 1853 chr 3 Nov 1853.

Suzy, is your Gavin the one who went to Edinburgh and married Catherine, or is your Gavin the one with father James and mother Benjamina/Jacobina?

I wonder if 1876 Freswick death Gavin may be son of James and Benjamina? Because he could not be found in the 1881 census someone assumed that he went to Edinburgh? Maybe?

The Gavin who died in 1876 was aged 18. (Source SP)

Suzy, for completeness and to find out which Gavin this is, I would advise getting some SP credits and purchasing the death certificate. He is obviously not your Gavin as he was 18, unmarried, had no children therefore you can't be descended from him.  ;D

I would be curious to know if he was the son of James and Benjamina though.

I think Suzy may be descended from one of Gavin's siblings but she hasn't specified which one if that's the case?

I originally thought she was descended from the Gavin with parents James and Benjamina, but you think she may be descended from one of Gavin's siblings?  :-\

That would still make James and Benjamina the correct line?
