*** Note there isn't a 'child named John' or at least I haven't located one - however on the 1911 Census, Catherine states she had 10 children with 6 living and certainly the census date for 1911 was taken on 2nd April 1911 and thus Catherine wouldn't have counted Jemima's death in July 1911.

A seaside resort with two beaches, Kinghorn Beach and Pettycur Bay, plus a fishing port, it stands on the north shore of the Firth of Forth opposite Edinburgh. According to the 2008 population estimate, the town has a population of 2,930.
Known as the place where King Alexander III of Scotland died, it lies on the A921 road and the Fife Coastal Path. Kinghorn railway station is on the Edinburgh to Aberdeen and Fife Circle railway lines. Kinghorn only has a primary school so high school pupils must travel by bus to Balwearie High School in Kirkcaldy.
The town's lifeboat station is one of Scotland's busiest - regularly getting called out to all sorts of emergencies in the Firth

Have attempted to use ScotlandsPeople site to find a marriage of Charles & Agnes (Paton) Wilkie as well as the 1841 census. Tried finding them via children's names too and again, nothing came up that was their family. perhaps the 1841 census where they were residing is one of many that perished as these were being transported to New Registry House.

Wilkie: Charles Wilkie and his Wife Agnes Paton had a daughter born on the 11 of May and baptized on the 9 of Augt - Named Margaret Dewar - another note stated baptism took place Kinghorn
