Magnus & May Linklater also had two children who didn’t survive childhood.
Robert Sinclair was born 20 Apr 1829, baptised 28 Jun 1829 in the North Leith church. Robert died on the 25 Jan 1834 and two days later was buried in the North Leith churchyard:
3 paces south & 1 east from Wigham's stone. 4 years old, son of Magnus Linklater, seaman.
Barbara was born 19 Mar 1832, baptised 8 May 1832 in the same church. When she was aged 1 yr 9 mths she was very ill with Chincough & she died on the 9 Jan 1834, three days later she was also buried in the same churchyard:
3 paces south & 1 east from Wigham's stone. 1 yr 9 mths, daughter of Magnus Linklater, seaman.
I suspect brother Robert caught the same malady as Barbara as he died just a few weeks later. Chincough = Whooping cough.
