Thank goodness for that. I'd given up for the evening  

I'd been using Whitecro*

Any chance of finding James' parents, Annette

On the 1851 there's a James Whitecross, aged 24, mariner  at 1 Littlejohn Street, Aberdeen. Born  Aberdeen. His father is down as a silversmith.  He could have underestimated his age. It might be worth having a closer look.   See below 

Full index has Elizabeth after Narsb.. so she must be down as Narin although the page is very poor.

I've just been looking at the marriage entry of James and Elizabeth.

James Whitcross, mariner. Father - Francis Whitcross, iron moulder.

I'm sure i saw a Francis in Scotland at some stage today/yesterday!
