I have a James Shirrefs (b.1757), one of many brothers of James (Doctor of Divinity b.1751), Alexander (Advocate b.1760 d.1823) and Andrew (poet b.1762). I have no idea what his job was though. They seem to have been pretty creative with the spelling so it could be.

If you use GenesReunited, request to access my tree for more information.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm pretty new to this.
