William Downie was probably born at Gogar Stone, Kirkliston but no record of his birth or baptism has been found. The evidence from Census returns and from the birth certificate of his first child Margaret is conflicting but the birthplace of Gogar Stone on the birth certificate matches the information in the 1861 Census.
