Pre-1700 profiles for Wilson & Henderson of Garvald

Question

I have not found any profiles for the following people, all of Garvald, East Lothian, Scotland, and would like to add them:

• Andrew Wilson (born c1680)
• his spouse Hellen Muir (born c1680)
• William Henderson (born c1685)
• his spouse Elspeth Dishingtoun (born c1685), the spelling of her surname is extremely variable

Does anyone know if they are already present?  They are the parents of Wilson-114238 and Henderson-30928.

I am pre-1700 certified, and the references to be added are from the Old Parish Registers at ScotlandsPeople.
