Joe,
William Smart and Margaret Dingwall are my wife's 4x Great Grandparents
William's Parents are John Smart and Janet Peadrie or as we really think Petrie but because of the Scottish Brogue many names were mis-pronounced. we have William's birth on 23 December 1772 and a couple of possible death dates from 1816 to 1821. We do have the marriage of John Smart to Janet Peadrie and it is the 25th October 1766. We also have 3 other children and they are Helen b 23 Aug 1767, Elizabeth b 23 Jul 1769 and John b 5 Apr 1778. With the gaps there we also believe that there may be some more children.
We have not found anything about Margaret Dingwall yet.
These are 2 possibles from SP with the preferred being the one from Ceres because of the names. William and Margaret had a son John and a daughter Janet
1 19/05/1765 DAINGWAL MARGARET JOHN DAINGWAL/JANET HUNTER F CERES /FIFE 415/00 0030 0029
2 29/09/1765 DINGWALL MARGARET WILLIAM DINGWALL/CHRISTIAN WILSON FR230 F SCOONIE (FIFE) /FIFE 456/00 0010 0302
There are several on the IGI but none really seem to come as close as the one from Ceres in 1765 which would still make Margaret 42 when Janet was born in 1807. This does seem unlikely but it is not impossible. It may be that her birth was not registered or not easily available yet.
I hope this is of some help and if you want you can PM me and I will give you my email address and that of my wife who is the direct relation.
Cheers,
