Find Ancestors

Family search site will give you baptism dates of children to
John and Jane Carson
John and Elizabeth Reid

as per names on census (some a year or so out from dates on census.

the only one I haven't found is Jean/Jane

Earlier ones around where born, later ones are at Wigtown United Association Congregational Church

If you look at the baptisms you'll see John was 1842 and Alexander 1846, so I wonder if Jane/Jean's was born in-between and Mother was Jane Carson who might have died in childbirth and baptism missed.

Would seem to confirm the 1851/61 census
