Hi Easson
Welcome to Rootschat! 
Not sure if you have this? But for reference in any case:
Children of James EASSON and Barbara WALLACE on IGI - Christened Saint Nicholas, Aberdeen,
Mary 1857
Archibald 1859
Elizabeth 1860
William 1862
John 1864
Janet Isabella 1865
James 1867
Alexander Innes 1868
1861: 1 Barnetts Close - St Nicholas Aberdeen
168A, ED 3, HS 88
Head: James ESSON 29, Master Saddler Employing 3 Men & 2 Boys, b Fordon, Kincardineshire
Wife: Barbara ESSON 33, Saddlers Wife, b Dalkeith
Son: Archibald ESSON 2, b St Nicholas, Aberdeen
Dau: Elizabeth ESSON 7 mths, b St Nicholas, Aberdeen
Their elder daughter is with James' parents in 1861:
1861: Mothyholes - Fordoun, Kincardineshire
259, ED 2, HS 11
Head: William EASSON 75, Chelsea Pensioner Farm of 5 Acres, b Aboyne, Aberdeeshire
Wife: Ellen EASSON 60, b Lakirk, Kincardineshire
Dau: Mary EASSON 38, b Lakirk, Kincardineshire
Grand-Dau: Mary EASSON 3, b Aberdeen
James is with his parents in 1851 (he married Barbara later, in 1856)
1851: Gutter - Fordoun, Kincardine
259, ED 2, HS 64
Head: William EASSON 66, Chelsea Pensioner , b Aboyne, Aberdeen
Wife: Helen EASSON 50, b Laurencekirk, Kincardine
Son: James EASSON 17, Apprentice Saddler, b Fordoun, Kincardine
Lodger: George SMITH 22, Ag Lab, b Garvock, Kincardine
Visitor: Helen MOIR 9, Scholar, b Glenbervie, Kincardine
The 1861 for James, the original image may prove to show he was 27 at the time, not 29.
Looks like his birth on IGI:
James EASSON born 10 Feb 1834, chr 15 Feb 1834
Parents: William EASSON and Helen MAIN
1841: Mains Of Glenfargerhar - Fordoun, Kincardineshire
259, ED 2
Will ESSON 55, Army P(ensioner) - Y
Helen ESSON 40 -Y
Mary ESSON 15 - Y
Jean ESSON 10 - Y
James ESSON 7 - Y
Robert ESSON 5 - Y
Andrew ESSON 3 - Y

Hi Easson
Thanks for your PMs and glad this has helped Your reply (which I hope you don't mind my summarising here, as it may be helpful to anyone else who can help with details or who might be connected):
Thanks so much for the information. I knew of 1841, 1851 and 1861 census information for the William Easson family. But I could not locate James beyond his birth and marriage. The list of the children and 1861 census information for James is very, very helpful and exactly what I was looking for. ......
Thanks again for the information you sent me... I don't know where you got it ??
Do you have any further information about the marriage/census/deaths of the children of James Esson and Barbara Wallce? I was able to find info on Archibald (the eldest) but not much (other than census) on the other children.
James and Barbara & all children on 1871 - this is the last Census with the entire family all together (except Elizabeth the dau b abt 1860 - yet to discover what became of her after 1861)
1871: 1 Barnetts Close - St Nicholas Aberdeen
168/1, ED 3, HS 63
Head: James ESSON 37, Saddler, b Fordoun Kincardineshire
Wife: Barbara 43, b Dalkeith, Edinburghshire
Dau: Mary 13, Scholar, b St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Son: Archibald, 12, Scholar, b St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Son: William 9, Scholar, b St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Son: John 7, Scholar, b St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Dau: Janet I, 5, b St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Son: James 4, b St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Son: Alexander I , 3, b St Nicholas, Aberdeenshire
Some good sources are:
Scotland People - free to register. Free to Search, can purchase certificates, Parish record entries and Wills on line here at very good value for money. Also search, view and download/purchase Census - but one has to be careful of this as you can easily spend a lot trying unsuccesfully to locate someone
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
FREECEN - Free Census records for UK - on going project not yet complete and concentrates on earlier Census.
http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
http://freecen.rootsweb.com/
Aberdeen is currently:
100% online for 1841
77.8% for 1851
Ancestry.co uk and Rootsweb are also very good sources (latter is free, and has been incorporated by the former. but former is a subscription site - though it does have some free bits, and special free offers from time-to-time). Access via Rootsweb:

1881
1881:1 Barnetts Close - St Nicholas Aberdeen
168/1, ED 3, HS 61
Head: Jas. ESSON 47, Saddler, b Fordoun Kincardineshire
Wife: Barbara 52, b Dalkeith, Mid Lothain
Son: Arch'd 22, Saddler, b Aberdeen
Son: Wm. 19, Clerk, b Aberdeen
Son: John 17, Apprentice W,Houseman , b Aberdeen
Dau: Janet 15, Pupil School Teacger, b Aberdeen
Son: Jas. Jnr 14, Scholar, b Aberdeen
Son: Alex'r , 12, Scholar, b Aberdeen
1881 - 1901
Mary, the eldest daughter - as Mary ESSON, married a man named James MELVIN in 1879 St Nicholas, Aberdeen.
Free-Index Search of Scotlands People ( going by names of her children, guessed his first name was either George, Norman or James - and James it is. Though documentation would be needed to prove, am sure this is your Mary).
This is Mary in 1881, 1891, 1901....
1881: 8 Mealmarket St - St Nicholas Aberdeen
168/1, ED 39, HS 6
Head: Mary MELVIN 23, b St Nicholas Aberdeen
Son James MELVIN 11 mths, b Old Machar Aberdeen
Can't be 100 sure without seeing the original image on SP (to see if he is listed as married, and Mary too) but think James MELVIN was on the night-shift at work on 1881 Census night, and is listed here:
1881: Harron - Cruden, Aberdeenshire
185, ED 5, HS 101
Servant: James MELVIN 24, Baker, b St Nicholas Aberdeen
He is a Servant to James DANIEL, also a Baker.
James MELVIN died in 1885 - SP WIlls Index
James MELVIN, Baker, resident Mannofield, Aberdeen, died 21 Sep 1885 at Mannofield, He was Intestate.
Spouse of Mrs Mary ESSON or MELVIN.
Proved in Aberdeen Sheriff Court 12 Oct 1885.
Cannot see a death 1881-1891 in Aberdeen for James - but there is one to match, registered in Kincardine:
James MELVIN age 28, died 1885, Kincardine
(Note) Son Norman MELVIN's birth was registered 1885 in Kincardine, too)
His widow was in Kincardine in 1891:
1891: Banchory Devenick, Cults, Kincardineshire 251/3, ED 1, HS 34
Head: Mary MELVIN 33, Baker, b Aberdeen
Son: James MELVIN 10, Scholar, b Aberdeen
Dau: Barbara MELVIN 9, Scholar, b Aberdeen
Son: George MELVIN 6, Scholar, b Aberdeen
Son: Norman MELVIN 5, Scholar, b Aberdeen
Servant: Annie CLARK 31, General Domestic Servant, b Aberdeen
(son William age 8, is with Mary's parents in 1891)
Mary MELVIN remarried to James CUMMING, 1894 Old Machar, Aberdeen (SP Index)
1901:10 Duthie Terrace (Tay Park) - Aberdeen Mannsfield ,St Machar, Aberdeenshire
168/2, ED 59, HS 221
Head: James CUMMING 52, Ship Carpenter, b City Aberdeen
Wife: Mary CUMMING 43, Baker, b City Aberdeen
Son: James E MELVIN 20, Baker, b City Aberdeen
Dau: Barbara W MELVIN 19, Mother's Help At Home , b City Aberdeen
Son: William MELVIN 18, Apprentice Cabinet Maker, b City Aberdeen
Son: George K MELVIN 16, Apprentice Coachbuilder , b City Aberdeen
Son: Norman MELVIN 15, Message Boy (Baker's) m b City Aberdeen
