His first child was called Agnes as per the 1881 census .
And this is the only one I can find in Dumfries that may be him,more searching to do though.

Shoot me Alviegal, I NEVER think to look on Family search.

So my marriage from SP will now get deleted,had to be a Miller really going on brother in law on 1851.
Any sign of Jemimas baptism?

New message to Vivienne jThankyou very much l was told John McIntosh senior deserted his wife and family and went to Canada
a terrible thing to do in those days to abandon your wife and family.Looks like it was true.John McIntosh my G grandfather left Dumfries in a hurry and was supposed to have got some girl pregnant l wonder if the grand daughter Elizabeth Howat aged 10 months on the 1871 census is that child.l don't suppose l will ever know for sure. Thanks againn
