FreeCen 1841 has this entry www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5a141ca2f4040b9d6e0574db/thos-mcculloch-1841-ayrshire-ayr-1786-?locale=en

1851 has this entry www.freecen.org.uk/search_records/5902799ae9379091b11772f9/thomas-mcculloch-1851-ayrshire-ayr-1782-?locale=en  I think it is the same Thomas as in 1841. Interesting to see that he showed as married in the 1851 entry, but living by himself.

Thanks again.

I am a member of my heritage so I will have a look in the morning.  I would have thought that if there were any matches they would have sent me a notification, so perhaps they do not have one.

I will let you know if I find anything.

MyHeritage is like Ancestry, FindMyPast, FreeCEN and all the other web sites except Scotland's People. It has transcriptions and indexes, not a complete set of originals. You really need to look at the original document on Scotland's People.

Judging by the number of supposed matches they sent me when I was a member of MyHeritage, if they haven't sent one it must be because they don't have one.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
