This is for Ross Stewart.
There are only two headstones for the Stuart name in Greyfriars cemetery according to the pre-1855 MIs.

Hi, are you able to look up the following of my ancestors in Greyfriars please?

James Christie b 20.04.1813 d.31.05.1813
His brother George b. 21.08.1816, d, 25.02.1817

Their father James Christie b.1763?, d. 23.08.1847
Their mother was Ann Christie nee Rough but I haven't found her death as yet.

Many thanks.

There's no index names for the bairns but there is this entry for the father.
Section D: 252: by James Christie, wife Isobel Reoch 13.11.1799, daughter Helen, son James 23.8.1847, 84

There is only one entry for Rough but it's no Ann.

Thank you so much!
Is the Rough her father, George or his wife Margaret Rough, maiden name Clayton by any chance?

Section D: 151: David Rough glover here 20.5.1780, 59, first wife Agnes Buist, 34, son Andrew, second wife Beatrix Stobie, (children Margaret, Laurence, James & Beatrix), (west side, glovers insignia)

Thank you so much. Im now thinking he may be George's father as George was a Glover too.

Have you looked at the Greyfriars Register?

James Christie and the two young sons are listed, and probably others.
Interesting to see that James was a gunsmith at one point and an auctioneer at another.

Thank you, I've had a good look there but strangely can't find his wife, Ann Christie nee Rough who I know died before 1862.

Yes his occupation path is very interesting.  Maybe they were linked somehow to James Christie who found Christie's the famous auctioneers!
