Thank you to whoever split the thread into two :-)

I've found a bit more out about John. He married an English born woman Sarah Robertson in Scone in 1851 and thereafter lived in Perth where he was generally a carter and specifically a coal carter. He and Sarah - whose age varies greatly on the transcriptions of census - had several children and he died in July 1883 following a fall from his cart and a long term heart problem. Sarah survived until 1916. I was thrown by his age being eight years out on the death certificate and the name also being recorded as Thomas.
