Is this helpful thread yours/your spouse's?

From that, I cannot see that it is at all certain that your William born in Londonderry was the same William baptised Belfast. Have you found other records since those posts?

Have you followed through on the 'potential' siblings in Scotland as mentioned in the posts?
