I just found George born 1856 in 1880 united States Census as a school teacher and i don't think it is the same family after all as the George i'm after turned up in 1881 England Census as a ship mate on the John and Jane Vessel and he was defenatly born in Scotland. Thanks anyway i knew it was too good to be true

Yes i have found some people on the 1880 census in Unites States and i think its who i'm looking for and i just need to see if theres a son Geoge there at that time and bingo i've done it here they are below. George would fit in nice just above the oldest child and that would be why they dissapeared from Scotland not long after he was born.
