Alexander Neill was born at Inveresk on 19 April 1822, son of Peter Neill, (born c.1793 in Inveresk) and Margaret Chalmers.

Peter (1.0) & Margaret married in Prestonpans on 22 January 1815. They had the following eight children all born in Inveresk : -

1.1   Helen Neill            b. 25 Dec 1815
1.2   William Neill           b. 18 Dec 1817} 
1.3   Robert Neill              b. 18 Dec 1817} Twins
1.4   Peter Neill               b. 17 Aug 1819
1.5*   Alexander Neill      b. 19 Apr 1822  (the subject of your enquiry)
1.6   Isabel Neill                   b. 14 Apr 1824
1.7   John Neill                   b. 6 Dec 1830
1.8   Margaret Neill   b. 21 Aug 1833

Source of information : My register of the Family, based on IGIs.

I have recently found this information while endeavouring to assist another enquirer who is a descendant of Alexander Neill* and to whom, you are possibly related.  I will now take steps to put you both in touch by e-mail.

I am currently seeking the parents of Peter Neill (1.0) born in Inveresk c.1793 and I am about to post a notice on this website requesting assistance.

Please note that I have no personal connection with the Neill Family.

I do hope that this will be of help to you and send you warm good wishes for your further research.

No particular names.  Just offering assistance, when I feel that I may be able to help.

Especially interested in enquiries concerning locations of Places and old Properties - farms etc., in England, Wales and Scotland.

I've just come across the message re the Neills of Inveresk, and seen postings which indicate that people are researching the descendants of:
1.4 Peter,
and
1.5 Alexander,
as listed by Beaver 13. 
How about
1.3 Robert?
I'm in touch with a descendant of Robert - and also have much information on the family/ancestry of Margaret Chalmers, their mother.
So some heads-together-ing might be amusing?  For starters, have a look at:

where Margaret (#6 there) and her parents figure - my e-mail address too
