Yes I was guessing John born 1810 ish.
I wondered if son in Royal Navy was he in services too??

[Lorna Liggett]

So confusing when they put down various places for birth.

Do you know for sure that it is the same Samuel?

Yes. All information is correct. I even noticed on different census they changed from Covenanters to reformed Presbyterian but even that fits our history.
