Hi Margaret,
Some stuff for you, but you've a bit of work ahead with them!
I notice Janet is as WRIGHT in 1861 too, and again as married....

Proclamation of Banns 18th Oct, and being regularly proclaimed, and no objections offered,

This next census was a bit of a mess; in the occupation column he had put the birthplaces,
but he also put the bithplaces in the proper column.
So it was written twice, and instead of repeating this i've just put a line ------- This is why there are no occupations.

. Now for wee Helen Wright, I am thinking that maybe Janet Morton re married a Mr Wright and Helen was his daughter. I am about to go search and see if Janet remarried, as she does show up as Janet Wright in the 1851 census oh what a web they do spin. 
so much information, many thanks I will print it all out and go over it later today. I had put a message regarding deaths prior to 1853 and where to find them and Annette answered, she came up with the Marriage of Janet and allen Wright and a John Morton's death in 1833 but no way to prove that he is mine yet?? still working on that. Also that Janet and Allan had a daughter Helen in 1835 so the puzzle is coming together.
