The son Robert in 1841 could also be part of either household - need to have a look at the census image:

ANDERSON
ROBERT SCOTT
JOHN ANDERSON/AGNES SCOTT FR1927 (FR1927)
M
21/08/1821
821/
80 17
Dumfries

or

ANDERSON
ROBERT WRIGHT
JOHN ANDERSON/AGNES RICHARDSON FR1972 (FR1972)
M
27/10/1822
821/
80 107
Dumfries

However, Wellwood's parents are definite:

ANDERSON
WELLWOOD
JOHN ANDERSON/AGNES RICHARDSON FR1973 (FR1973)
M
07/04/1829
821/
80 109
Dumfries

So presumably the Nicholas in Dumfries in 1841 is the daughter of Agnes Richardson, and not the one who is the daughter of Agnes Murray.


The daughter Agnes:

ANDERSON
AGNES
JOHN ANDERSON/AGNES RICHARDSON FR1973 (FR1973)
F
13/10/1834
821/
80 109
Dumfries


So Nicholas Primrose is either the Richardson one, in which case her baptism isn't showing on SP, or else she's the Murray one, in which case she's not showing in 1841.

EDIT:
But of course NP is in Buckinghamshhire in 1841, so clearly she's not the one in Dumfries.

I've had a look at the 1841 census image.

Three different households -

Sarah Scott on her own;
the Andersons;
the Richardsons

John Anderson was a bookseller, son William a grocer, Robert a printer's apprentice.

Nicholas (in Dumfries in 1841) must be the one with mother Agnes Richardson - but her baptism's not showing on SP

Parents' marriage - 6 credits on SP will let you view the record:

ANDERSON
JOHN
AGNES RICHARDSON/FR1335 (FR1335)
18/09/1814
821/
50 194
Dumfries

As well as William, Robert, Wellwood, and Agnes, whose baptisms are already posted, and Nicholas, whose baptism isn't to be found, John & Agnes (nee Richardson) had these children:



ANDERSON
DAVID
JOHN ANDERSON/AGNES RICHARDSON FR953 & 883 (FR953)
M
30/04/1818
821/
30 299
Dumfries


ANDERSON
JAMES
JOHN ANDERSON/AGNES RICHARDSON FR1972 (FR1972)
M
06/06/1824
821/
80 107
Dumfries


ANDERSON
ELIZABETH GEDDE(s)
JOHN ANDERSON/AGNES RICHARDSON FR1972 (FR1972)
F

Dumfries

However, that Nicholas in Dumfries in 1841 isn't Nicholas Primrose, as she was in Buckinghamshire in 1841.

So Nicholas with mother Agnes Murray may be the corect one after all.

Sorry - I've been waffling through this to reach that conclusion, just as I found stuff.

Nichols husband joseph Little was from Buckinghamshire
she married him age 20 in 1840 in BUCKS
But he was Scottish born 1817
