Trying to find Grt Grandfather: Thomas James Anderson & Grt Grandmother. Rose McBride
Although I know he married Mary Watson (born Davidson) in Glasgow in 1897 and moved to Campbeltown around 1900, I can't find his birth, or his parents' marriage registered so it could be Ireland or England. Any siblings are likely to have James as a middle name too (like a surname)

His father is listed as being a Compositor (foreman) on the marriage register.

John James & Mary had (at least) the following children. All of them, I believe, had "James" as a middle name like a surname (even the girls)

Rose 1897-1917
Mary 1901(married Mr Barker)
John 1899 (emigrated to USA) - married Belinda
Thomas 1902-1903
Robert 1905 (married Claira)
William 1907(married Marian Matheson - had 3 children)
Catherine 1910(my grandmother)
Elizabeth 1908(married Mr Hutchison)
Thomas 1914 married twice
Lucy 1917(married Jim McGuigan sp?)
