That is a big family!
I will try to find the marriage of Charles and Mary Josephine, although this has been very illusive and they may not have married. My American lady couldn't find it and thought that Mary may have been married to someone called Thomas Mannix (Joseph being their son). I think I will have to order the fiche for the local Mormon church and wade through it all. I have gone through all the census records in the UK for the family and Charles' (elder) age is stable. Mary's age changes for each census, giving her birth as somewhere between 1862 and 1868.
The births of the 2 yongest children in Scotland and the 1911 census all point back to their marriage in 1882 (if it took place) in the USA.
I can't think of any other way of figuring out if my Charles is child number 6 in the first census posting above, other than looking for any details of his parents if he did get married.

1) Robert c1835, 2) James c1836, 3) William c1839, 4) John c1840, 5) Duncan c1845, 6) David c1847, 7) MARY 1847, 8) Mary c1849, 9) CHARLES 1850, 10) Thomas c1853, 11) ADAM bp 04 JUN 1854, 12) ANDREW b 17 MAR 1856, 13) MARGARET 1858, 14) AGNES 1861.
It's not clear if Mary #7 died and Mary #8 was named after her, or they're really the same Mary (my guess is the latter). The only way you'll find out about kids who didn't make it to the census is either a) find a statutory birth rego for 1855, or b) find death or burial entries. Before 1855, this can be problematic, although Colinton does have burials for 1815-1854 - I've no idea how complete these records are, and note they didn't bother for the previous 160 y. One might also find kirkyard Memorial Inscriptions which can be pretty informative.
SP now sells images for OPR burials. I haven't gotten one yet - don't know if my folk are there yet either, although I do have some kirkyard burials. The alternative is to view films, either at the library (especially if you live in the Edinburgh area), or else via renting to view at an LDS FHC (world-wide). To check on the film, you can do a place search in the LDS FHL library catalog, but the quickest way here is to take one of the IGI OPR hits for the kids (say Mary), and click on her. At the bottom of her record is:
