Thanks, were did you find that? Is that in Ancestory.com? This would make sense. Here is what I had typed before I got this message Leslie fife is where Margaret marshall was born 1835. I am really not sure about that other 1851 census in Dunfermline. Seems like they were more congregated in the Fife area. I can't even get to those census however to view them again, as I have not decided it would be worth another $30 when I am stuck and thought I went over all of them. I know that Robert and Margaret his wife died by 1858 as stated on their daughters (margaret) marriage cert. I think I found the child Margaret listed as visitor of some people named Critchon listed in the 1841 census. Margaret the child eventually married James Gibson. The strange part is I found The census for James Gibson as a boy in 1841 in Midlothian and there was a MARY Marshall and her son ALexander Marshall living with them. No child Margaret thou? Maybe she was visiting the Critchons in 1841. But searching for who Alexander's parents were I can't find a Mary Whitehead as the mother. Which would be the Mother I am looking for. But if this mary is married to Roberts brother (which I don't know) that would give me a clue as to who Roberts parents were....I think it is odd that Robert and Margret Marshall both died before 1858 and I wonder if they were older when they married. If you can can you see the 1841 Census for a Daniel Gibson living with Ann Gibson...and Henry, james, and then they also have a Mary Marshall and Alexander Marshall, can you see where these two were born? This maybe my only clue if I can find out who these two were. Thank you. This is driving me crazy. I do know that Robert Marshall was listed as a "traveler" so he could have been anywhere.
