Sorry - but there is no punctuation in your post which makes it difficult to read.

Your post is just headed Edward Todd

my great great  grandfather was born c 1832 Bannockburn

Was his name also Edward as you make reference to " Edward senior" later in your post

Any other children born to Edward & Elizabeth?  If so - when was their last child born?

Is Elizabeth shown as a widow on 1851/61 census

Where is Edward jnr in 1841?   A tree on Ancestry shows he married Marion Ramsay in 1849 in Clackmannan when he would only be 17yrs old.  1851 has him in Perth b 1830 Stirling - wife May

Elizabeth was born in England c 1791

No trace of an Elizabeth Todd born England on 1851/61 censuses

According to the tree Edward snr died 1860 Clackmannan but no death is showing on SP

Hi,

I think Elisabeth/Elizabeth is recorded as Tod on 1851

Bannockburn

Elisabeth Tod       Widow    age 58    Yarn Winder      born England.

She is alone. Edward snr looks to have died pre 1851.
