Hi Jeanette Birth records on Scotland's People Web Site begin in 1855, prior to that you have to look at Old Parish Registers, Births & Baptisms. I have checked for you from 1832 to 1837 and only got one match. So knocked off the years until I got a match in same year. 1833 IS THE YEAR, where Janet Morson in Campsie shows. Scotland's People Site is very good for checking Marriages, Births & Deaths. It also gives Parish Records as I have just said! It costs £6 for 30 credits and for one credit you can view the match, and for five credits you can open up the match and obtain the information you require. You can also print out copies of Births, Marraiges & Deaths so well worth investing. Parish records I believe can by ordered on line through them if they are not available to view. Hope this helps? Was she married in Scotland as you say first child was born there? Janice

Hi everyone, thanks for your help. I've got loads of info now. It appears that I may be the g.g.grand daughter of James Morson, Laird of Kirkintilloch! Still can't find any sign of Janet Morson's marriage to John Birkett (Born Lancashire-possibly Manchester c.1826) Nothing on the birth of their son John Birkett born Scotland c.1860 Or any reference to John Birkett Snr prior to 1861 english census. So if you feel bored.....................................
