Thankyou so much for this information.
Would it be possible to check for me if James' parents were Alexander and Agnes. Birthdates unknown. Thankyou

Hi Joanna
Do you have a date of death for James. It would be easier to check if he died 1855 and after? Even a rough birth date would help - from later censuses. Nothing in Feteresso.

Joanna
James Cushnie died in 1859, aged 61, Feteresso GROS Ref 256-76
So far I have been unable to find any info on Hel(l)en after 1851 - census, re-marriage, death and no baptismal record - under either surname. Could this have been a second marriage, given her age (b.c. 1811)?
I'll keep looking.

I've looked for Helen in a number of sources but can't find her yet 
I'll put a thinking cap over my head and see if I can come up with something
