  10. there's a 1785 George to William FB and Jackie HEPHBURN, Dunbar - but the 1841 census says born Midlothian - which could be discounted, given that at least two of George & Christian's children were born at Dunbar, and both 1851 and 1861 show a widowed slater George born Dunbar, albeit of an older age than indicated by the 1841 census
