I have a Jane Neil, age 9, born Closeburn. She is listed on 1861 census as being at the household of James Williamson age 70 Master Joiner, and Nicholas Williamson age 70 at Camplebridge. she is listed as Granddaughter. I know that James and Nicholas had three daughters Elizabeth, Jessie and Jane. But none appear to have married a Neil. Neither can I find a birth record of a Jane Neil in Closeburn 1851/2. I need to find her birth details and her parents names so that I can fit her in my tree.

Hi
In 1851 census at New Cample, Closeburn (316 Household 3/19) there is a Nicholas Neil aged 4 Months living with the Williamson family, a grand-daughter. Sister of Jane, perhaps? Or one and the same?
Can't find a birth for Nicholas but have found an extracted record on IGI for Jane Neil born 15 November 1850 to David Neil and Jane Williamson in Closeburn.
Have also found a marriage of a David Neil to Isabella Marchbank in November 1853 in Kirkpatrick Juxta, DFS
