in 1877 aged 61.
 Go to ScotlandsPeople  website and download the cert from that you will get his parents .You will need to get some credits £7 for 30 --6 will let you see and download it.

The Ref no is 812/52.

Hi ,
       I've just seen on another site someone looking for a John Jess who went to Lanark Mills in 1912 they were still there in 1922 but can't find them after that.

Possibly a relative ?
ADDED ; - it says he was born in Lisburn in 1896   son of Samuel Jess and Margaret Cargin the person is descended from John's sister Ellen Jess

Hi Mitchnz,
                  Welcome to Rootschat from me to .I was delighted when someone told me there was a reply to my  Coulter post.

I knew James was married to Maria but had no other information --why he returned and lived with his sister I have no idea .
Grateful for the information about his son I have been researching them most of today and found he married  Jemima Clelland on 9th January 1906.  He died March 1952 and is buried in Belgian Gardens Townsville.

Are you connected to them ?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Midlothian / Re: Evening News Picture

Hi,
    I was asking a friend who belongs the Gilmerton area about gala days. She recognized your granmother as being the wife of the local doctor who resided in the Northfield area of Liberton.
In the 1950s Moredun held gala days my friend actually took part in one but not this one.
Apparently in the Saturday edition of "Evening News " there is a  "Can you help" column why don't you ask in it if any one can remember who your gran crowned. Worth a try.
There is another site www.edinphoto.org.uk the owner of the web site Peter Stubbs  is very helpful I have contacted him a few times regarding
photos on his site there is also a guestbook you could write in that people from all over the world are "guests" talking about their childhoods in Edinburgh.
Won't do any harm and worth a try.
Good luck.
Remember and let us know how you get on

Sorry I haven't got back to you before this I have been trying to find if he might have married Christina in Australia.

 I think you could be right Sandra this is more than likely to be him . He came from a fishing family in Ayrshire still not found a

a marriage for them . Of course they could have married anywhere. I do know for a fact that his nephew was also on the boats

in Australia and a friend found his death there in 1906 . Ah well back to the drawing board.

Thank you both for your help.

Regards,

Betsy

Sorry I am not I have not been able to find anything on them except his death he is the brother of my ggg grandfather .

I have  all the rest of this family and descendants up to the present day but he is a mystery . I wonder if he has been living

elsewhere and came back to Cairnryan later on in life according to his death certificate Maria was still alive . It was his niece my

gg grandmother who registered his death.
