John I have nothing to prove that "my" James was Andrew's son, although I believe that he was, based on the location thing- he being at Kippen, while Pauline's James was at Kilsyth.
John (and his wife Janet Archibald) travelled with their children sometime between 1831 and 1836 to Canada. I expect they landed in Quebec and made their way to Ontario where they resided in Hastings County. James senior was alive for the 1851 census but I cannot find him in 1861 so suspect he died in 1851-1861 time frame.
I don't know where or when Janet died- it is possible she died in Scotland, on the boat, in Quebec, possibly in Ontario...she was not on the 1851 census and James senior was listed as a widower.
Will do some more digging this morning and see if I can find anything new.
Pauline I have names of seven children for your James and his wife Christian Graham, and their dates of birth- do you have all of that info already?
