James Carruthers was born in Kirkmichael, Dumfries

Thanks both of you.I think the 1891 and 1861 info is right and probably the marriage but not the 1871 though the names are there. the James Carruthers in the 1861-was he born Kirkpatrick parish,please? that's where Thomas Scott's brother in law David Carruthers was born.

Thanks Helen and Glitter Baby-I think you've gotten most of it for me except maybe who Margaret Hunter was married to.Can you find her in 1861,1871,81 or 91.I tried the '81 myself but couldn't get her.Maybe she never married but just took the name of the baby's father?

John Barton is head of the house.

Joan

hi again,
First of all,thank you for the help.I'm sure you nailed Grace in the 1861 with her father Thomas but in the 1851 in Cowshaw,Tinwald ,Thomas gives his birthplace as Dryfesdale(age 34 in 1851),Dumfriesshire.he is married to Agnes Barton born 1802 Tinwald and in 1841 Agnes and Thomas are on the Cowshaw farm with the farmer John Barton,presumably Agnes' brother.In another cottage there are David Carruthers and wife Mary Barton.A Mary Barton ,pauper,cousin to Thomas Scott is with them in 1851. Can you list the Stirling bit for me,Glitter Baby?
Joan

Grace Scott and Margaret Hunter were both born in Tinwald, Dumfries-shire.

Thomas J Scott was born in Bothrenas, Stirlingshire and he is a nephew to Margaret Hunter who is head of the house.

Hi again Glitter Baby-I managed to find Grace and Margaret in the online 1851 Dumfriesshire census and am sure now this is the right family as the one I am trying to link them to has the middle name Barton and there is a Mary Barton cousin of Margaret Scott's father living with them.grace is with a David Carruthers her uncle apparently,in st Mungo parish.The Scott family is in a house called north Cowshaw in Tinwald ,Dumfriesshire which I;m hoping will help you find them in the 1861.
Joan

Thanks,Glitter Baby-your second lot looks promising.I'm following a story from a letter written in 1907 in which a relative in Illinois relates a visit to this family.can you give me the birtplace of the older pair -Grace Scott and Margaret Hunter please.
And I'd love to find them in earlier censuses.
