Do you have the names of Richard and Janet's children in birth order?

Which Richard?
Richard that married Janet McKay(Macky) had 3 children.
Richard that married Janet Muir had 2 that I could find. Other folks show 3 but I've not been able to prove one of them so I don't count it as probable.

I have been able to find Richard Wallace and William Wallace as children to Richard and Janet. Other distant relatives have noted a Robert Wallace as the 3rd child but I've not been able to find documentation to prove it. I've not seen any Gavin on any of the records I've seen/found.
How interesting!

Ok - So why does it not show up in ScotlandsPeople?
I will try again.. I've had no luck with finding anything in FamilySearch.org.. I guess that I'm not patient enough.
Thank you for your help. I'm sorry that it seem's that I'm clueless on some parts.
Exasparated!

Robert is recorded as WALACE
Thank you again!
Now if I could just get the Muir's down. I still have Morton's, Douglas', Petrie's, Armstrong's and Craig's to weed out/through.
I appreciate everything!

There are 2 John Muir's in Lanarkshire that could possibly be the guy I'm looking for but since the records this far back don't give details, I'm very hesitant to say either is right.
Oh well.... On to another branch on Scotland to shake.
