Other possible births for William, in case he's not the William B whose birth I posted earlier (although the children's names are the same as William B's parents):

21/10/1827 WILLIAMSON WILLIAM
WILLIAM WILLIAMSON/AGNES WATT
M DYSART /FIFE 426/00 0060 0060

05/09/1830 WILLIAMSON WILLIAM
JOHN WILLIAMSON/MARGARET SELKIRK
M DYSART /FIFE 426/00 0060 0097

04/07/1826 WILLIAMSON WILLIAM
ROBERT WILLIAMSON/MARGARET CUNNINGHAM FR1834 (FR1834)
M DYSART /FIFE 426/00 0060 0426


However, the William in 1851 with parents Andrew and Christina is a seaman, which fits the other records.

William B is a general labourer.

The censuses don't give any clue to where in Scotland Christina was born, but if she was someone he'd known in Fife, there are these possibilities:

25/03/1827 MITCHELL CHRISTIAN
ALEXANDER MITCHELL/CHRISTIAN CHALMERS
F NEWBURGH /FIFE 450/00 0020 0030

21/06/1829 MITCHELL CHRISTIAN
ALEXANDER MITCHELL/CATHARINE REEKIE
F DYSART /FIFE 426/00 0060 0081


29/03/1829 MITCHELL CHRISTINA
ALEXANDER MITCHELL/CHRISTINA HAXTON FR999 (FR999)
F CUPAR /FIFE 420/00 0040 0118

19/08/1832 MITCHELL CHRISTIAN
ROBERT MITCHELL/JEAN GOURLAY
F CERES /FIFE 415/00 0040 0063

29/03/1829 MITCHELL CHRISTINA
ALEXANDER MITCHELL/CHRISTINA HAXTON FR999 (FR999)
F CUPAR /FIFE 420/00 0040 0118

The one in Dysart seems the most likely - Dysart was just beside Kirkcaldy. Nowadays it's virtually part of the town.
