Hi Heather, it seems I may have conflicting info. Strangely there was an Alexander Weatherston from Scotland who had a son Thomas AND a daughter Jessie. It looks like there is some familial link....maybe Alexander is the uncle of Thomas Herbert and not the father as I mistakenly mentioned. So coincidental to have two Weatherston men of same age from Scotland, working as clerks and settling in Liverpool and both having sons named Thomas.
