No sign of him in 1851 or later. His father is listed as having been born in Ireland, while his mother and brothers were all born in Dumfriesshire. Hope this is of some help.

There are 6 marriages on the page, one described as "Married by the Rev . . . . ." etc the rest "Proclaimed . . . . Married by the Rev . . . . " etc. Is there any distinction between the two descriptions?

In England until recently, only a marriage in church was legal. In Scotland, with different laws (where the performance of the ceremony by a clergyman was more important than the location), the tradition was that only the upper classes, or the well-to-do, married in church, with the various costs involved. Most people had the marriage at the bride's house, and later on, when money was not so much a problem, many people married at a hotel - they still do- with the local minister officiating, and the celebrations afterwards in the same building. With baptism, the need was to have the child baptized early, in case it died unbaptised. Accordingly, any sickly child was probably baptised at home, while a healthy child might be baptised in church at an appropriate opportunity. Twins or triplets probably got baptised at home, due to their small size. I noticed in an OPR I am transcribing, in an early 1800s date a child was born in Edinburgh, then baptised in Angus several weeks later, when the parents returned home. Baptismal entries in OPRs seldom state where the baptism was done, so if you do get this, it is a bonus. Otherwise, if you can identify the date as a Sunday, it was probably a church baptism. If the words "before the congregation" appear, then it was in the church. "before these witnesses" with 2 or 4 names mentioned, could be either in church or at home, but probably the latter.

It depicts a family gathered around the cottage living room table with the Minister in attendance. Viewable at Aberdeen Art Gallery or Google John Phillip Baptism in Scotland.
