If so, then the spelling of Waterston would suggest that Robert wasn't Manx.

I looked for possible baptisms of their 4 children to see how Robert's name was spelt.

Is the one below the right entry for James ? If so, then the middle name of Murray might be significant in finding the right Robert Waterston.

There are lots of possible baptisms in the IGI for Robert in Scotland, or have you seen them and excluded them for various reasons ?
