It was common for illegitimate children to be known by their father's surname although the father's surname was usually/often a middle name.

Will need to wait for higgypee to confirm one way or the other but from the findings of Rosie & yourself it does look promising.

Higgy, that birth can be downloaded at scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Credits cost £0.25 each and are available in batches of 30 (£7.50) or 40 (£10) from the buy credits page.

That cert. will cost 6 credits

Thank you all so much for the help. You see why I was so confused. I will buy credits when I have done the ironing and post the results. It is wonderful to finally be able to make the Scottish connection solid. All of my knowledge, little that it is, is of the Liverpool end, but family stories of someone coming down from Scotland and giving James (or his mother?) money were repeated. Family law mentions a German connection. No idea what that is. That is for once I have made this part solid. Thanks again, will post later today

Ancestry has the age of James Miller as 7 on the 1861 census, Find My Past has 1.

Yes maybe the original on Scotlands People will have the right age

Thanks Isobel,

That would/could/should tie in with....STEEN JAMES (1859)     329/ 124     Auchterarder  :-\  ;D

Annie

Yes Annie I would say you have found the right one birth certificate should confirm if Margaret is his mother  ;)

"Margaret Stein married Walter Scott 1865 Auchterarder"
 
Strangely under both spellings...Could she have previously been married to a STEEN/STEIN or just a typo?

SCOTT WALTER     STEEN MARGARET
1865
329/ 7
Auchterarder

SCOTT WALTER     STEIN MARGARET
1865
329/ 7
Auchterarder

Thank you all, especially Rosinish, I reckon this is my relative's birth certificate. He was born October 1859. And Margaret married Walter Scott in 1863. She was 25 and he was 22. Must have been a nice man or maybe she was lovely.

Now I can try to sort out the forward and backward from there! I'll keep you posted
