If you're after the birth certificates of him and his father PM me.

And if anyone knows why his brother was called Robert Ballantyne Brunton, born 13 Apr 1839 then kindly share, as the name Ballantyne seems to have arrived from nowhere.

We know his father kept up with Scottish naming conventions with his children, "William Tait" Brunton I can account for but "Robert Ballantyne" Brunton !!

This was found by a metal detectorist up in Selkirk a few years back. One if William Taits buttons he would have used as a tailor. The shop closed in Seilirk around 1903 if memory serves.

Just in case anyone is still reading this,  Robert Ballantyne Bruntons name...

William Scott Bruntons uncle was William Tait(e), who had married Joan Brunton

William Taits father was Thomas Tait, his mother was Christian Ballantyne.
