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.

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

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.
