In 1841 it is likely that James would have been working, & maybe living, away from home. Did his death certificate give his father's occupation? Was his mother's name down as Ann Andrew m.s. Cadger? Can you tell me why you think she may have been the daughter of James & Margaret (nee Walker) Cadger? Were there any family members at the baptisms of James & Jane's children? Sorry for so many questions!
Have you viewed the original censuses on scotlandspeople? I looked up the 1861 census as I don't know of a place in Aberdeenshire called Maines. Having seen it, I think it reads Slaines - which should be spelled Slains.As the 1851 census gives his place of birth as shire, Aberdeen I'm wondering if it actually reads Slains. What do you think? Have you managed to find James in the 1871 census? It would be interesting to see what his place of birth was!
