Hi Betty,

Two older children are shown on the online IGI.

ARTHUR CORDINER - Birth: 28 MAR 1821 Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
JOHN CORDINER - Birth: 16 FEB 1823 Saint Cuthberts, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland


It may be worth a look on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk at the OPRs for these two. The wording of these may give a clue to the marital status of the parents. It is common to see children as lawfully born or naturally born - meaning legitimate or illegitimate respectively.

No sign of the marriage on the online IGI.

All the best,

AndrewP
