Hi

You've not been back since you posted your request. However, in case you'd like to follow them up, here's Jane with her mother and Aunt in 1871:

High Street, Kirkcudbright
871 ED 3 P 13

Little
Agnes, 40, ag lab,
Jessie, daughter, 19, ag lab
Helen, daughter, 8, scholar
Agnes, duaghter, 2
Mary, sister, 35, washerwoman
Jane, neice, 13, scholar
Mary, daughter, 7, scholar

All b. Kirkcudbright

In 1861 I think she is listed as Jane Taylor with her mother, aunt and grandparents

High Street, Kirkcudbright
871 ED 3 Page 16

Little
John, 60, labourer, b. Ireland
Janet, w, 69.
Agness, d, 30
Janny, d, 26
Mary, d, 25
Jessie I Ratcliffe, gchild, 9
Jane Taylor, gchild, 3

All but John b. Kirkcudbright

I'm wondering if this is James Riddick in 1851. Crossmichael is adjacent to Kirkpatrick Durham is adjacent to Crossmichael

Crossmichael village
862 ED 1 Page 19

Riddick
Elisabeth, 34, servant's wife
William , 5
John, 3
James, 5 months

All b. Crossmichael

Not sure about the above now as I have found a submitted entry on the IGI for James - b. 6 July 1844, Kirkpatrick Durham. Parents as on Marriage Cert.

I need to do some more checking

The Scotlsand's People site is showing a baptism for James Riddick om 28 July 1844 in Kirkpatrick Durham. Parents are shown as William Riddick and Elizabeth Rutherford. He was nearer 40 than 30 at his marriage!

Here are the family on the 1851 census:
