Thanks Debra,
The name mistake  was just my poor typing when posting. I have my Tree with My Heritage, and when Record Matches came up for each of the children there were two separate entries., both from Aust Births & Baptisms.One showed William John and the other William Thomas. The Marriage cert advised by Aniph  shows William John Evans ,so I take that as correct. I have since rejected all matches showing William Thomas.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Perhaps someone can explain the following.
I  have four children on my Tree :Amy Eveline Evans(1879-1879), William Henry Oscar Evans(1882-?, Mabel Roberta Pratt(Evans)(1877-1955) and Maud Eveline Riley(Evans)(1880-?.All born  in Tasmania, Australia and all children of William    Evans
and Frances(Fanny)Phoebe Rebecca Davis.(1852-1932)

On checking out the Birth and Baptism records, I find that there are two records for each child, one stating father is William John Evans, and the other William Thomas Evans. Both can`t be correct, and it is making it impossible to research Wiliam. On checking Tasmanian records both  men existed with birth years within two years of one another-not that I know either are the William I`m  trying to research, as no marriages are shown.
Where do I go from here? Any advice appreciated

Dear Kay99,
I am a bit confused, but think I will be able to follow. Other than for Jane I obviously have the wrong children attached to Margaret and John Nicoll .  However, after I amend and replace the existing Margaret and children with those given by you, do I have the correct John Nicholl. ? The John I currently have attached to Margaret was born Dec 1827 in Dundee, Angus/died Jan 20 1867 with father James married to Margaret Bisset.

Thanks for all your help Kay-I`m finally getting it correct as I knew something was wrong  but couldn`t find any details which was why I contacted Rootsweb.
Regards,
David

Hi Kay,
I am fairly certain I have the right Margaret Sloan,married to John Nicol.
One of their daughters was Jane(Mary) Nicol born Oct 24 1865 who ,married a James Henry Murdoch.The following is an excerpt from Janes Family Bible:

I have a beautiful big bible mum gave me years ago. There are certificates of births in it. (I'll send you  copies when I send back the photos.)
One is the register of birth of Jane Nicolle, born on 24th October, 1865, at 5.20am in the Parish of Kilsyth, to Margaret Nicol and John Nicolle. Why the difference in spelling of the surnames on this certificate, I have no idea.. It's interesting also to see that a name directly under Margaret Nicol is....M.S.Sloan. The certificate also has the date of Margaret and John's marriage as 24th August, 1853, in Paisley.

Perhaps I have the wrong John Nicol,or  some of the children I have attributed to John & Margaret are incorrect?These are the children I have listed of John & Margaret:James,John,Thomas Douglas,Margaret Bisset,Elizabeth & Jane Mary.

Really appreciating your help on this one.
David

Many thanks to Ray,Kay99,isobelw and Ambly which has been a great help.The John Sloan in Devon is not connected.
I wonder if you could now help me find John Sloan`s parents.
I`m not sure if his father was John or James, but his wife`s maiden name must have been Bisset. Why you may ask?
Well ,Margaret-James and Ann`s daughter married John Nicol, and one of their daughters was named Margaret Bisset Nicol.
Thanks again,
David
