I'm trying to confirm who is the father for Alexander Christison died 1820 Edinburgh, Professor of Humanity, University of Edinburgh for whom there are 2 possible Birth/Baptism at Longformacus.
I have researched the Redpath baptism as he has been mentioned as having a connection there.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Christison
has him as both 1851 and 1853

https://www.classicsandclass.info/product/204/
(1760-1830) both of which are incorrect.

Only two Alexander baptisms of that surname in Longformasus 1730 – 1770. Father John.

This fits the Scottish Naming pattern with Alexanders eldest son being John and second daughter Mary.
