Together they had at least 5 children; Sarah Ann Main (born 1837), Eliza Main (born 1839), Edward George Main (1840 - 1928), Charles Main (1843 - 1918), and Martha Main (1844 - 1924). Edward Main died in Cowes, Isle of Wight, Hampshire on 17th April 1856.)
*James Main (1810 - 1862) See #6 James Main for details.
*Mathilda Hill Main (1821 - 1895) was born in Edinburgh, Midlothian sometime around 1821. She married James Graham in Edinburgh, Midlothian on 6th April 1843. Together they had at least 7 children; Jane Graham (born 1844), Walter Graham (born 1848), Edward Graham (born 1850), James Graham (born 1854), Matilda Graham (born 1856), Margaret Graham (born 1858), and John Joseph Graham (born 1860). They lived in Glasgow, and James Graham was a silk merchant/mercer. Mathilda Graham died in Edinburgh, Midlothian on 16th February 1895, and was buried with her husband James Graham at Warriston Cemetery, Edinburgh.
*Margaret Main (circa 1821) I can find no reliable birth records for Margaret Main, but she was mentioned in the 1841 census as living at the family home, with Jean Wilson (aka Jane Main) and siblings Edward, James and Matilda Main. I cannot find any other reliable records relating to her, so she might not be Edward Main and Jean Wilson's child, and could be a daughter of a different member of the family, thus carrying the same last name.
(Note; Edward Main's baptism record was not recorded at the time of his baptism. It seems that the clerk who added the record after the fact put in the wrong year. Going by Edward's death record, and other records that relate his age, including his date of marriage, the year of his birth must have been ten years earlier than the date of 22nd July 1780, given in the Bo'Ness Parish records. Death records, plus date of marriage all suggest that his year of birth was 1770, and I have assumed that the day and month of birth were accurate, but similarly they cannot be entirely relied upon.)

Edward Main died in Edinburgh, Midlothian on 23rd October 1835, at the age of 65, the cause of death being 'natural decay'.
