Hello Liz:
I have printed all of the Scots Origins index, for the surname Calder, from 1764 to 1854. I found only 2 entries that might be of interest to you. They are as follows:
1)Marriage, June 14, 1850, Alexander Calder and Helen Marshall, Leith South, Code: 692/2/25.
2)Marriage, January 15, 1822, James Calder and Margaret McDonald, Canongate, Edinburgh, Code: 685/3/28.
Strangely enough I couldn't find a record of any children being born to these two couples from 1822 to 1854. You might want to search for the family of your g grandparents in the 1851 & 1861 census records for Leith. Those records could give you a lead. I hope this is of some help!
Regards
John B. Calder
