Thank you for your input
Yes we had thought on those lines George being named after John's father but Margaret's father was also George. and we don't know if  George was the first child !

I'll look again at the George McAlpine and see if any could match our tree but if I remember when I looked before their wasn't any George McAlpine's, it was James,Donald, John

Thank you

Just noticed this and I'm interested in the Berwickshire Militia I have a John McAlpine who married in Haddington 1807 a Margaret Donaldson it states he was a soldier in the Berwickshire Militia I managed tofind out that they were claiming for 2 children in 1813 George & Elizabeth I've been doing this for a few years and not been able to find their births until now !!
George McCalpen baptised 11 Feb 1810 at St Mary Woodbridge father John McCalpen mother Margaret Donaldson
I don't have anything on John McAlpine/McCalpen other than his marriage the 1841 census in Linlithgow which says he was not born in the county but was born in Scotland his age was 55
 
If anyone can help in anyway  to find out where he was born I would be very grateful
Sylvia
