I'm not sure what the code FRMRV79-1 means, but I googled it and it seems to refer to Ulva.

I'm thinking that this is very likely to be the place and this is very likely to be the family just don't know why Neil is not shown.

I have researched other Scottish families and there are many records missing from the Scotlands People website, so don't give up!

[Smudger1962]

I won't and thanks to everyone for the help. it may be that a couple of days in Scotland are on the cards see if I can physically search those registers. I'll have to make enquiries. Edinburgh is only a couple of hours from me I might also try and trace Alexander his brother on the census records see if anything pops up. Sometimes just a relative visiting or the name of a place can get you going again.

Yes that's her. She was the daughter of another policeman (Neil's Boss She was also Born in Scotland born Kilwinning 1821. her mother was Scottish and her father was English they moved back down here and he joined what I think was the first intake of a formal police force. The police watch committee records are a gold mine of information. Except in Neil's case what I really need to know.
