I see from Geneteka that the children were actually christened in
Pstrążna. I had a look for scans in the Polish archives, but could only see births from the 1830's onwards . Pstrążna was known as Straußeney in German and was part of "Czech corner" or
Böhmischer Winkel and had Czech inhabitants.

There is an OFB (family history book) see here ( in German) which tells you some of the history of the place

According to this, some of the records are in the Catholic registers of Czermna/Tscherbeney

Could be this birth, no mother's maiden name given, so probably unmarried

Agree, brazier. Did he have a brother Richard who lived in Broad Street Ratcliff, and was a nail maker/ ironmonger?

Camasour was a croft on the Inverernan estate and incorporated in the farm of Lonach. The buildings

were situated in the belt of timber at the roadside, a short distance to the west of Forbes Lodge.
