He may well have done Patchem. Unfortunately you cannot search by place of birth on Scotlandspeople. There are 11 possible James Beattie's born 1859 in 1891 and only one in Dumfries which will be his cousin born in 1860.
Thank you for your help anyway.

Has the single James in 1881 gone back to Scotland?

For Ref :
Robert Beattie's Will was dated Jan 1882

That's great Dea, thank you very much.

Mary

It is indeed Mary and it is getting very late here but I will be happy to take a look at it properly in the morning!!

I first found this James Beattie as named as a son in Robert Beattie's Will ( my gt grandfather's brother ).
Robert Beattie ( Farmer, living in Corsock, Irongray ) married Jane Dunn in May 1859 in Irongray, but they only had one daughter who died aged 7.
Robert Beattie had been suspended from his position as Licentiate of the UP Church in 1859 and then became a Farm owner.
There was an illegitimate birth in 1859 Corsock, Irongray, for a James Douglas, with mother Janet ( a servant ).
On the 1861 Census in Carsewell, Irongray, living with a Douglas family is a Janet Douglas 29 and a James Beattie 1 b.July 1859 Irongray ( Grandson )-- Landed Proprietor's son.
It's very involved isn't it !

Mary

Well, that is certainly a different James!!!

How have you worked your way back to him?

Can you tell us exactly what you have got as facts going backwards and we can see if we can find out which James was 'yours' !!!

Dea x

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for all those lookups.
I wonder if I have been researching the wrong family, as in 1881, I have James Beattie as a Servant age 22 Coachman domestic, b. 1859 Irongray, Kirkcudbright. Living at The Oaks, Millom, Bootle, Cumberland.

Mary

Well I can't see a marriage. Maybe they didn't.

Andy

????
unfortunately only one brides name but thought I would show it to you.

Regards Vera

Possible birth of oldest daughter:
Births Dec 1880
BEATTIE Maggie Mary R Carlisle 10b 442
so probably from a marriage. And if marriage claimed 31 years in 1911, then 1879/1880 should be correct years.

Added:
Sorry not seeing anything.

Andy

The birth certificate gives the maiden name. If she has been married before you are looking for a marriage of James Beattie to Elizabeth xxx.

I don't think so, as on a birth cert that I have of one of the children, it gives her maiden name as Runnicles.

Mary

Could Elizabeth have been married previously?
