There's a George born in Sept 1856 to a George Cowie and Margaret Porteous - is that the one you're looking for?

If so, his parents married 1854 in Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh.

Thanks Claire but i think thats the wrong one because when i looked up Johns parents name the Margaret had a different maiden name to the Son George that i'm looking for if that makes sense.
