	Look for them in 1851, when the birthplaces will be recorded It looks from the 1841 you’ve posted as though they were all born in East Lothian OR - look at Scotland’s People website for baptisms, marriages etc

Unfortunately, as these are old parish records, John & Elisabeth's parents are unlikely to be stated.
