Thank you for your help.  "My" Annie Morris was born in Shropshire, and I noticed all of those were born in Scotland. 
Are any of those three loobylooayr found [by an ingenious search!] ones that you have looked at? Otherwise how do you know they were born in Scotland? It's not stated on the index.

Yes I did subscribe and look at those three.  I'm sure all their birthplaces was in Scotland?
