Hi Everyone,
My gggg grandfather, James Reburn was married in Fordyce in 1779. I've found a baptism record for James Reburn in Boyndie in 1754, this looks like the same person, is there any way to confirm that?
Thanks,
Rickr

Hi Rickr 
I'm not sure if you can be definitely - as in 100% - certain but Fordyce and Boyndie are adjacent rural parishes so that is in your favour
1. have you looked at the marriage entry to see if it gives any hints?
2. have you checked for any burial records/MIs for him which might give his age?
3. do you have the name of his children in birth order? If the Scottish naming convention was used, it would indicate his parents' names.
4. have you checked if any other James R*burn married, died, had children, etc.
Regards
Gadget

Hi Gadget,
Thanks for the help There are no other James Reburns born in the area around the right time.
His children don't help much, second daughter is margaret, same as possible mother, but his son is James, not Henry and there are no other Henrys in our family.
The marriage entry gives no other clues except the location.
I may have to settle for being 'reasonably' sure!

I see that the parents of the 1754 James, appear to have moved to Banff (next parish) by 1757
Full list of this couple's children bpt between 1750 and 1770:
1754 - James - Boyndie
3 Nov 1757 - George - Banff
25 Nov 1759 - John - Banff
22 Sept 1761 - William - Banff
20 March 1764 - Henry - Banff

Hi Gadget,
Thanks for all the help, I'm fairly new to all this,as you can probably tell.
How did you manage to find all that information so quickly?
Regards,
Rickr
