The cert or entry that I bought said John was illigitimate or begotton in fornication........Ann didnt show on the 1841 census with her mother she would of been 11 Angus was not mentioned on the census either.The cert said sheperd in ardachy Thanks
Maybe Ann went to live with a realative of Angus ?Or are these other children from another woman?

It would not be a birth certificate that you bought but a copy of the entry in the OPR as Statutory registration didn't begin in Scotland until 1855.

Did it say in the entries that Ann and John were illegitimate? Did it give the parish that Angus lived in please?

Have you found Angus on the 1841 census please?
