The 1851 census shows my G Grandfather Christopher Myers being born in Inverary Argyllshire The 1841 census shows him being born in Midlothian. I have so far been unable to find any clue as to his actual birth place. He married Margaret Law in 1820 in St. Cuthberts and I have quite a lot of information after that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
