Hello to all
This is my first ask for help, I am researching my Dads line and have got back to my GGG Grandparents John Morton and Christina Campbell , I am trying to find the birth of their son John Morton which would have been around 1852. Up till now I have only been able to find a record for a William born to the couple, any suggestions where else I would be able to look.
Or maybe there is someboy else out there looking for these families would love to hear from you.

Hello Margaret

It might be helpful if you could tell us what towns or counties are associated with this family.
Thanks

All the best for your research
Catriona

Hello Margaret

Like you I could only find William who was born in 1859 in Cathcart, Renfrew on IGI.

IGI
John Morton m Christina Campbell 8 Jun 1851 Cathcart, Renfrew Scotland
William Morton b 13 Sep 1859 Cathcart Renfrew

I can only assume that any other children were not “registered” or are not listed on IGI.
As 1852 is outside of the SR from 1855, I can only suggest that you try to find if there are any church records available that may give you a lead to the birth of any other children for this couple.

I also recall that some records in IGI are female only (I think), so trying to find if they have been registered with the Kirk may be the way to go.
