My gggrandfather, Alexander Leyburn, was born in Scotland abt 1822. He married Jane who was born abt 1822 in England. He arrived in Portsmouth, Norfolk, VA in 1854. they were enumerated 1860 Census Portsmouth, VA. he was a machinist. Jane a milliner. Both died in 1866 in portsmouth VA leaving William an orphan who was reared by John and Elizabeth Withy. {both of them born in England and were neighbors of the Leyburn family}
I know he came from or traveled out of the Port of Dundee, Scotland.
their son, William Leyburn, was born 1861 in Portsmouth, VA.
I am looking for them in Scotland or England 1851 census. I hope to find their marriage as well as their parents and siblings. they might have lived in Yorkshire.
