There's another two gaps - do you have James and Mary's wedding cert. This will give James's parents?
Also, the 1861?

I'm in what Russell (Runner) calls my 'I've started, so I'll finish' mode. I'll have a look for James on the 1851 - see if he is in the area, else he would probably be in Ireland if the 1861 is correct.

No sign that I can see. Maybe you could try the Freecen 1841. I've tried on James, his father and his mother both in the area and throughout Scotland.
I think he was Irish but, given that he married in the Free Church, he was probably from the North.
Right - off to meet a fish merchant 
I'll have another search when I get back.

There's no baptism record for him either. Although it could be outhwith the established church, I think Ireland will have your answers.
