The naming tradition went as follows

First son after his paternal grandfather
Second son after his maternal grandfather
Third son after his father
Subsequent sons after other relatives, friends, neighbours, minister, doctor, schoolmaster, landowner etc

First daughter after her maternal grandmother
Second daughter after her paternal grandmother
Third daughter after her mother
Subsequent daughters after other relatives, friends, neighbours, wives of minister, doctor, schoolmaster, landowner etc
Thank you for fabulous help. It has so far confirmed what I have. Those Scottish records?? can be confusing. ??

Right, so she was born in 1851 not 1852, got it on Scotland's People now, and the other children in that 1861 census entry do also have parents John Anderson and Ann Erskine on FamilySearch, confirming that that is the right family for Mary Nicoll Anderson.

John Anderson married Ann Erskine 27 Dec 1840 at Forfar - have you viewed the image of this marriage record on Scotland's People (or some other way) to see if it gives any information about their parents?

FamilySearch has John Anderson born 10 Mar 1815 and christened 10 Mar 1815 at Rescobie, Angus, parents James Anderson and Elizabeth Dick. I'm sure I saw the name Elizabeth Dick Treadwell earlier on - hang on - yes, born 1881 Kensington district with MMN Anderson. So that must be the right John Anderson birth record.

And Ann Erskine born 27 Sep 1820 Forfar, parents Andrew Erskine and Catherine Watt (also from FamilySearch). One of Mary's sisters was named Catharine Watt Anderson, so this must be the right birth record for Ann.

This is correct. I hope that some progress can be made even one more step backward. That would be fantastic ??

FamilySearch shows that James Anderson married Elizabeth Dick 31 Jan 1811 at Rescorbie (or Rescobie), Angus. There are two records for this on Scotland's People and if you view the images there may (or may not) be information about their families. I don't see a marriage for Andrew and Catherine on either site.
