 Ann 1766,
Alexander 1771,
James,
!sobel 1775,
William 1777,
Walter1780.

Ann 1778
Alexander 1780
Alexander 1781
Mary 1782
Bathia 1785

Catherine 1797 ?

AND Burnside;
     Alexander Joass m Beatrice Addison
Possibly the natural son to George Joass and Margaret Preist bp 7.10.1681
  George and brother William the sons of James Jon


Anyone who can aid the untangling?

Thank you for the clear copy of Davids Baptism, my copy has a barely legible birth year. Does rule him out as father,also makes me realise I had assumed David age 50 buried in the Gordon/Gray plot was the son,although not actually specified. Will have to look at other possible relationships.
  Apologies for lazy speak,meant to indicate I had looked at both marriage records, although having just checked cannot find copy of Peterhead one. also trying to indicate had searched post 1805 for whereabouts of David. Not a common Gray christian name but no links found to Whaling family of Peterhead where it is repeated.
  Informant on James' Death Certificate has no known connection to the family,so Candlemaker Banff deceased could be a red herring.

All I have managed to find is that he studied at Kings college from 1777-1781, graduated m.a.1788

  James did marry Helen in Peterhead and also Gamrie.
With regard to David, I agree with your maths re d.o.b. Parents didn't marry til 1784 so there is a discrepancy  between age recorded on grave and christening.  possible birth legitamised and late christening. Maths re Monquitter also don,t really tally.
  Seeking anything that helps cast light on the issues.
The KS does read that he promised to leave the parish,not that he actually did.
