	Don't think so Mel. Agnes was born at Dysart. I think the actual birthplace in that document would be Strathkinness. It is possible that they could have split up as a family but i'm still hopeful they remained together and emigrated. Thanks.

	I have a family David Robb born c 1801 Fife, Scotland and Married Christian Lawrie or Laurie also b 1801 in 1826. They seem to have had six children between 1827and 1841, 5 of whom were alive in the 1851 census but they appear in no later Scottish Census. I suspect they emigrated. Can anyone more experienced than I look up emigration records please? The children were Catharine 1827, Christian 1832, David 1834, Thomas 1837 and Agnes 1841. Obviously there may be later children. Thanks in advance. Malcolm.
