I have been unable to trace the birth or baptism of William or his marriage and have so far not made contact with descendants of this family.  A number of references to them have however been found in indexes of local newspapers and these will be researched eventually.

Notes for JOHN MCGEORGE:
John was a veterinary surgeon according to the census and birth death and marriage certificates of the family. I doubt whether he had any formal training although in the 1851 census he had written veterinary surgeon, Vet Sch Ed. The Veterinary School at Edinburgh did check their lists 1794-1866 but there were no McGeorges.
John and his family lived in Durham Street, Kirkpatrick Durham Village in the parish of Kirkpatrick Durham, KKD Scotland. His son John was a blacksmith and lived close to his father in Durham Street.  John married twice, first to Catherine McMorrine who died in 1817 and secondly to Janet Johnston. They are all buried in the Kirkpatrick Durham churchyard
