They later lived at Kirkkettle Mill & Lasswade.

They had children Andrew( registered as Andrew scott Young) 1875
Catherine 1877-married Hugh Lindley & emigrated to Canada.
Helen-1879-married Gibson
John or Jock who served in the Boer War & also in the South African Police, lost a leg in WW1 & lived at Erskine Hospital before marrying Rossanna McKimmie.
William -married Christina Topping.
