James Spence & Jane Christie

Thanks Debra, took a lot of scrolling down but I found them

[Dundee]

As James SPENCE was a marine engineer it is unlikely that there would be an immigration record for him but if he worked the east coast you may find him on crew lists here:

Wow thank you all so much for the information and links! I'm so grateful for your help. I'll go have a look at the suggested m/c as well and see what I find there

Strangely, I didn't pick up a Charles Jones 16 in either the Spence household or elsewhere?

There's a Charles Jones 32 & a John Chalres (sic) Jones 19 both elsewhere?

Update: I found these on Scotlandspeople but the last two don't give parents names. Is there any way to search for them?

[Rosinish]

If any of the people you're looking at, died in Scotland post 1855 their parents names including mms should be on their DC if the info. was known to the informant of the death.
