Morning Ross
The parents of AT baptised 10th September 1797, are John Thorburn and Mary Mill, so possibly born some time earlier.
The SP OPR Records from that era show that they had (at least) 5 children, including John baptised 28th April 1795, again possibly born some time earlier.
Only VIEWing the Scanned IMAGE of the original OPR record on SP may or may NOT clarify actual Birth Dates.
==============================
Again on SP, there is an original OPR Record for the "Cryin' o' the Banns" or possibly Marriage, of a John THorburn and a Mary Mill,in Borthwick Midlotian, on 17th June 1794.
Again there may or may NOR be more details on the original OPR Record available to VIE and Download on SP.
==============================
There are those two AT's born around 1706, of which the later being at Newbattle, seems the more likely-
2. ALEXANDER THORBURN - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Christening: 06 SEP 1706 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
3. ALEXANDER THORBURN - International Genealogical Index / BI
Gender: Male Christening: 05 DEC 1708 Newbattle, Midlothian, Scotland
================================
You should cross-check all the Scottish BMD Events to Scotland's People, which holds most of the original OPRs - the official documents of the period.
