At Ancestry!.com, there are a couple of public family trees including John and Jane - - they can be located at this link (I think that you can get to these even if you are not an Ancestry subscriber): http://search!.ancestry!.com/cgi-bin/sse!.d!.!.!.


John and Jane had a son George Parker M 22, April, 1786 in Irvine, Ayrshine, Scotland

George married Jean Murray, 30, March, 1790
Tarelgin, Ochiltree, Ayrshire, Scotland

It appears the earliest UK census on Ancestry is from 1841, and there is one entry that could potentially be a match, if he lived that long!?!:
