Hi Joyce,

Some confusion over the forename of Andrew MORGAN's wife's name.

Either JANE should be ANN on the 1835 marriage.
Or ANN as the children's mother's name should be JANE.
All confused? Here's what's in the IGI - except the 1835 birth of James Cowan Morgan.

ANDREW BENNET MORGAN
JANE MARSHALL
Marriage: 08 APR 1835 South Leith, Midlothian, Scotland
[can't see any children under the above names]

There are however children for this couple below - but can't see a marriage for them.

ANDREW BENNET MORGAN
ANN MARSHALL

JAMES COWAN MORGAN - Birth: 26 Feb 1836 South Leith, Midlothian, Scotland [from LDS BIVR]
