I'm somewhat confused - at least some of those children including the accountant (not generally known as a trade until late 19th C and I cannot see that Kirk Bride farmers would need such) were ch of Daniel Skinner and Ann Dowin/Dowan - they were married according to parish register Andreas 1749-05-27 no comment in register which is not surprising as both names had been in Andreas since records began - Ann was most likely d/o daniel Dowan + ann cottier bapt Andreas 17261029
