It might help us to help you if you fill in the full details of what you already know about these people, e.g. exact dates and places. Otherwise we are likely to spend lots of time finding out stuff that you already know. For instance you say that William Gourlay married Isabel Duncan in 1804, so if you have the year presumably you have the date and place? And we have no idea where to start looking for James Bell and Margaret Clark as you haven't said where William Bell was born.
