Thanks Harry, you obviously know what you are doing... I am very new to this but yes I remember my gran saying that our ancestors on the Gray side were Ullans (UlsterScots) You have solved the McFadgen, McFadden riddle for me so its McFadyen! What is the IGI by the way? I'm spending a fortune on Scotlands People :)

I have a friend Jim Pettigrew in Kilmarnock!

Now reading your post properly things don't ring true... my info was taken from the 1861 census James was 60 then and it states he was born in Ireland but his children to Isabella McFadgen (could be mcfadden as can't read Roberts marriage register very well) were born in Hawick... Thomas Gray circa 1849 and Robert circa 1853/4.

What do you think... are we on the right family here :)

Hi Jan James Gray was my great great great grandfather :) Hope you are still registered!!

He was born in Ireland according to Scotlands People website... Isabella was born in Joppa and there was a 20 year age difference.

Hope to talk more,

Alastair
