B  FGR submitted by Carol J. Moore; 2490 S. 6th E.; SLC, UT.  A census record from 1861 in Dalry, Ayreshire, Scotland.  Posibly conflicting date of 1810? or just miscalculation from looking at a census record?  Anyway, two census records have him as born 1820 (1861, 1871).  1851 census has his calculated birth date as 1820.  This date is OK.
