Hi Banshee
Not sure whether any of these came up in the chatroom when we were both there but in addition to the one irret found, I've found these baptisms of a James Gunn to the following parents :
9 Dec 1809 Scott Gunn and Elizabeth Sinclair, Halkirk
11 Nov 1810 William Gunn and Jane Fraser, Ardesier
7 March 1810 George Gunn and Margaret Lesk, Orphir
5 Dec 1810 to Adam Gunn and Margaret Shiels, Edinburgh
Regards
Gadget
PS and another Welcome

I've been trying to track him down in the 1851 census in the Sunderland area and the only one that fits is married to a Mary and born Scotland 1815 
Have you checked the 1841 and 1851 censuses yet? His children's names might help you to narrow down your search.

Hi Dennis
Do you know what Christian's parents' names were? This again might help because of Scottish naming conventions - not always used mind

Hi again Dennis
This possibly suggests the Halkirk, Caithness baptism as the most likely but not realy enough evidence so far to go either way.
Where were the children born?

Hi again
Curiouser and curiouser!
I have found Christian on the 1851 census in Berwick. James is not with her and she describes herself as 'head' and married. With her is a 7 year old son James Windersham.
Here are the details:
HO107/2421 Folio 497 Page 5
Walkergate Lane, Berwick
Christiam Gunn, head, married, 27
James Windersham, son, 7, b.
Alexander Gunn, son, 2
Thomas, 6 mths
all born Berwick
I'll have another look for James. Was he a fisherman or sailor of some kind to explain why he wasn't at home?

Here are the details:
HO107/2421 Folio 497 Page 5 james was a visitor on the 1851 hartlepool census he was a stone mason christian was married to a robert windrem in 1842 so the 7 year old could be his son mispelt it gets more complicated if you want to know, I,ve only lived in berwick for 7 mths and decided to do my family tree then I found out my ancestors lived in berwick very interesting but james gunn is driving me round the bend prio to 1847.
Walkergate Lane, Berwick
Christiam Gunn, head, married, 27
James Windersham, son, 7, b.
Alexander Gunn, son, 2
Thomas, 6 mths
all born Berwick
I'll have another look for James. Was he a fisherman or sailor of some kind to explain why he wasn't at home?

This is the nearest James Gunn that I can find to yours, on land!:
HO107/2400, Folio 187 Page 9
Shadwell Street, South Shields
James Gunn, head, married, 36, Master Mariner, b. Scotland
Mary Gunn, wife, 46, b. South shields
Ann Gunn, d, 9, b. South Shields
James,s, 8, b. S Shields
Elizabeth, d, 3, b. S Shields
Jane Crammond, Daughter in law, 14, b. S Shields ( I presume this is Mary's daughter, by a different partner)
Did you get his birthdate from the death cert? and who was the informant?
Starting to worry about this for you Dennis

Hi Dennis
Sorry to not find anthing obvious but it would help if you could tell me the source of your information:
How do you know he was born around 1810 in Scotland?
What did it say on his death certificate - e.g. occupation, informant, etc.
All these things - and anything else that you have - might help locate him.
