I looked a bit more :

1841 census on freecen
Piece: SCT1841/692/2 Place: Leith-Midlothian Enumeration District: 11
Civil Parish: South Leith Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: -
Folio: 11 Page: 8
Address: 36 Cable Wynd
Surname First name(s) Sex Age Occupation Where Born
MORGAN Jane F 25 Seaman's Wife Outside Census County
MORGAN James Carson M 5 Midlothian
MORGAN William M M 3 Midlothian
MORGAN Andrew B M 1 Midlothian
WILLIAMSON Euphemia F 30 Sewer Widow Midlothian
COWAN Euphemia F 70 Dependent Outside Census County
BURNS George M 25 Gardner Journeyman Outside Census County
[presumably Jane's Husband here [?our Andrew] is at sea as she is a Seaman's Wife were they recorded seperately?]

Looking for that wee Andrew's birth gives you:

ANDREW MORGAN
Christening: 12 DEC 1839 South Leith, Midlothian, Scotland
Father: ANDREW BENNET MORGAN Family
Mother: ANN MARSHALL
Messages:
Extracted birth or christening record

So I looked for those parents offspring: [ Andrew & Ann]
1. CATHRINE MURRAY MORGAN - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 21 JAN 1844 South Leith, Midlothian,
2. JOAN COWAN MORGAN - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 06 FEB 1842 South Leith, Midlothian,
3. WILLIAM MARSHALL MORGAN - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 26 NOV 1837 South Leith, Midlothian,

All have parents as Ann Marshall and Andrew Bennet Morgan.

I still don't know why you are so sure that the Andrew with Louisa in Middlesex is the same person?

Can somebody help Joyce out further here !
