I did find this interesting item about the James Anderson of mt pleasant though.
Precognition against James Anderson, Walter Logan, Andrew Inglis for the crime of night poaching
Date 1844
Accused James Anderson, labourer, Address: Mount Pleasant, Edrom, Berwick
Accused Walter Logan, labourer, Address: Nisbet Mill Edrom, Berwickshire
Accused Andrew Inglis, servant to George Aitchison, Address: Residing with George Aitchison, Mount Pleasant, Edrom, Berwick
The only thing is with this is on the birth certificate of James and Elizabeths son George, james's profession is listed as carter.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Beckey, i am not sure where James died, the only concrete information i have on him is the birth certificate of their son George that (gros 738/0020 0030) he was born 16th dec 1805 but the listing is on the 30/12/1805 when George was baptised in duns in front of the congregation.
On the extract i have it says parents: James Anderson carter, Elizabeth Ford it also has the letters FR286 which i am not sure of the meaning of.
There was a mention of a James Anderson aged 69, born c. 1772, an Ag Lab, living at Kellae Bastle in one of the census's with a wife Isabel aged 70, as isabel is used along with Elizabeth i am assuming that this is them, it also lists them living with a Helen Anderson aged abt 40 who i am not sure about the identity of.
George left the area sometime in his 20's for some reason and was married Sarah Emond on the 23rd july 1830 in either melrose, galashiels or selkirk (can't find that out). they had their first child margaret on the 28 may 1831 in galashiels, their 9th child (11 in all!!) was walter Anderson born 2 jul 1848 in selkirk, he is my line.
George and Sarah left plymouth england 22 nov 1854 arrived Geelong Victoria Australia 21 feb 1855
ship "marchioness of salisbury:..nine of their 11 children.
I am not sure if James and Elizabeth stayed in the Edrom area or moved to Selkirk, if they are the mt pleasant/kelloe andersons then i guess they stayed behind, but can't be 100% certain of that.
Alan: i had a look on a modern map and it looks like the mount pleasant crossroads is still part of the modern road system there, its on the north road to duns and the east west road between fogo and blackadder. i guess a lot of the smaller farms in those days were "gobbled" up by the bigger farms around that time.
I am still trying to find any hints on why george would have gone to Selkirk though, i am guessing employment opportunities but it seems like a long way to travel for someone in those days
