They seem to move back to live in skelmersdale as they appear on the 1861 census . Thanks

Yes, the 1861 census you mention shows three children were born in Scotland. (Copied from one of the old threads):

The 1871 census shows two further children, Mary 8 and Peter 5 both born in Ince, Lancs They were living at Upholland, Lancs at that date.
Surely you wouldn't have been visiting the same people 100 years later though?!!
