Sorry Dave, after much searching, I've still drawn a blank! Even searched under Lang and Lamb - the names in the link to the biography in your earlier thread!

Hi again Dave,

Here’s one for you to consider and probably dismiss!
Source Citation: Parish: South Leith; ED: 35; Page: 11; Line: 670; Year: 1841.
It’s not quite the right area, but it’s just that the children, John and Elizabeth seem to be the right age!

Address: Water Lane

Janet Thorburn 30, Seaman’s wife
Jean Thorburn 8
John Thorburn 6
Elizabeth Thorburn 3
Helen Thorburn 5 months

Some of my ancestors were masquerading under the wife’s maiden name!

All the best,

Josie

Daughter Margaret LYON married Francis Ernest STOWE.

They named their children:

Winifred Lyon - mother's name
Bessie Pearson - grandmother's name
Frances Ernestine - father's name variation :2fun: I'm sure they wanted a son.
