So Ann took the “dead” Alexander Mitchell to court for child support. Ha ha.  :D  :D
Can’t wait to see what the documents contain.
I still believe that James knew his father, and I have a strong hunch it is the Alexander that I identified in reply #21.

I’ve got some real characters in my tree. Although up to now it was mostly my paternal grandmother’s lot that were the most entertaining. I hope we don’t need to wait 28dys.

Who would have taken James to be baptised? Anne herself or another relative? In some of the entries I’ve read it sounds like the father takes the child without the mother.
