Once again, thank you for all the information!
Looked at all my info again, and saw that James Sn who died 1855 must have left Resoles in 1832, not long after the birth of Alexander. So they were only there a couple of years.
Looked out Alexander's OPR birth, and it gives James's occupation as Manufacturer at Gordonsmills. So while you have provided me with a location and background info, there is now also a bit of a mystery. If the mill had ceased to work by 1815, why and how was James working there in 1832?
It might be that he tried to re-start the defunct mill: James'e father was a farmer in Forres and might have been able to provide some funding for this project.
Whatever the whys and wherefores, James move to Kilmichael in Urquhart where he obviously had some success as by the time his last children were being born, the OPR gives his name as James Cant, Esq.
Thanks again for the info. It has filled in a small, but niggling part of the jigsaw
