Hi Sherrie, There were a few William Boyds born in 1809 and one in 1808 in Glasgow. 12 Mar 1808, BOYD WILLIAM, JOHN BOYD/MARGARET BUCHANAN, FR2059, M, GLASGOW, 644/01 020* 5 Jul 1809, BOYD WILLIAM, JAMES BOYD/MARGARET FORRESTER, FR515, U, AIRTH, 469/00 0002 30 Jun 1809, BOYD WILLIAM, WILLIAM BOYD/MARGARET MCMILLAN, FR345, M, GORBALS, 644/02 0001 2 Jul 1809, BOYD WILLIAM, JAMES BOYD/CHRISTIAN WILSON, FR571, M, NEW MONKLAND, 651/00 0002 27 Jul 1809, BOYD WILLIAM, WILLIAM BOYD/JANET HUNTER FR80, M, PAISLEY BURGH OR LOW, 573/03 0004 6 May 1809, BOYD WILLIAM, THOMAS BOYD/ELIZABETH CRAIG, FR522, M, BEITH, 581/00 0002 Found 2 William Matheson with father also called William: 24 Jul 1825, MATHESON WILLIAM, WILLIAM MATHESON/JANET HENDERSON, FR4921, M, INVERESK, 689/00 0016 25 Nov 1825, MATHESON WILLIAM, WILLIAM MATHESON/ELSPET MACKAY, M, ROGART, 055/00 0002 But I couldn't find George Houliston on the 1881 census. Are you sure he didn't die before then? I tried for ages 60 to 90 and several different spellings but no joy.

Sheila, I'm afraid I can't find any Weatherland births/christenings on the OPR for 1840 to 1850. Tried a few spelling variations but still no joy.

trying to find a william boyd b. 1809 abt in glasgow maried in glasgow in 1833 to a janet docherty. I have no other info on this family. also I am trying to locate a William Gray (grey) matheson b. abt june 1826 in midlothian married a mary laidlaw hay in september 1852 in Canongate Scroll Reg, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland and Barony, Lanark, Scotland. all I know is the father is a william mother unknown. also if possible a census lookup for a George Ord Houliston b. 1801 in east lothian. he was in dorset england, but has vanished so presume he may have gone back to his homeland scotland. thankyou

Jane, No joy, I'm afraid. I found 68 Jane Wilsons born between 1841 and 1844 but none had a father called Richard nor a mother called Jane Buchanan. I couldn't find any marriages for Richard Wilson to a Buchanan or for Jane Buchanan to a Wilson in the years 1820 to 1844.
