Thanks All,
Ev, That link to the 1841 appears to be his household. My 3rd great grandfather was his son William, and have not as of yet investigated his son James's line. I will have to do some more looking into that 1851 census, I must have the wrong household if as you say upon his death his spouse is listed as Jane Baird.
I have not been able to locate a death record. Can you point me in the right direction. I have searched via ancestry.com and familysearch.com with no luck yet.
Sancti, I saw those articles too and have had contact with members of the Hogg family you have mentioned - but there doesn't appear to be a link between the families. That James Hogg is approx. 10 years older than "mine".
Kind Regards.
