It's not rude at all! I'm happy to share any information I find. :) I'm afraid I haven't done extensive searching for the Blacks, but I have made some progress.

If we take the 1752 birth to be correct, here's the original details from SP:

"Charles son to Jas Black & Isabel Hogg was born Nov 18 & baptized Nov 26. Witnesses Jas Hogg & Jas Grieve"

James and Isabel married in 1747, with banns being read at both Prestonkirk and Dunbar.

I'm afraid this is the end of the "confirmed" data. I did pencil in a Charles Black and Isabel Durrie as James' parents, but it is difficult to say whether they are correct.

Hope this helps.

Just wondering if you ever resolved the Charles Black mystery as I have recently begun researching this side of my family .I have Charles and Janet nee Watson son Peter b.1802. Witnesses at his baptism were James Black and George Watson --do you think they would be their brothers rather than fathers?  Janet Watson's parentage and birth is also a stumbling block for me. Any thoughts ?
