and provided I didn't take a wrong turn, that's as far as I got.

Tracey, you have been BUSY 

Couldn't find much more than you have already found. Just a couple of more children to James Baxter = Isobel Ross:

Marriage - 1792:

1793 - David
1794 - Agnes
1797 - Katherine
1798 - James
1801 - Isabel
1803 - Sarah
1804 - Margaret
1807 - William
1810 - Thomas

If parents to James are James and Katherine, then potentially that leaves David and Agnes for Isabel's.

Pity the family lines didn't used family surnames as middle names as that would have helped in verifcation. As you know, it gets harder and harder the further back you go as records get thinner on the ground.

Regards.

I've sent PM with email

Here's the wrong turn, the most likely father would be james, not Thomas???

I think it is after this that I went wrong because IF naming practices were followed then the father would be david, not james?
