The ranges are still there on this latest update. They are just not so obviously found! To locate click on the arrow beside the ancestral region. On the next screen there is an information sign beside the name. Click on that and the range is shown ( as is a useful link explaining the use of these ranges). For example in the recent update I have 1% Donegal. The range is from 0% to 3%.

These ranges are well worth looking at.

Later children of John Newton and Margaret Boys have father John as a farmer living at Lizards, Lanchester. They can be found there in the 1841 census.

This is, I believe, John Newton's death notice in the Durham Chronicle 12 July 1850

At Hyperion Syke, near Lanchester, 8th inst, aged 78, Mr John Newton, upwards of 40 years, tenant of the Lizards Farm near that village.

If you go to Scotland's People and purchase the marriage and death records  for Alexander they should give his parents names.

From the information provided by Neale61 there is a high possibility that Alexander was illegitimate.

In your initial post you refer to George Herriot and Catherine Campbell as being possible parents. There is no evidence that they married but it is of note that the Catherine Campbell referred to by Neale is an unmarried servant in the parish of Dirleton in the 1871 census. Living in the same parish in 1871 is a George Herriot  , born about 1840 and a widower. Both George Herriot and Catherine Campbell went on to marry other people. There is a death ìn the parish of Aberlady for George ( surname transcribed as Heriot) in 1887.
