Thanks Gadget,
Yes, that's the same family. My list of the family is
Helen
Janet
James
Andrew
John
Thomson
Elizabeth
Margaret
James
The strange thing is. I visited Airth Parish church last summer on
a Hotchkiss research mission and happened to see a grave stone
with James Steel's name on it. Just kind of stuck in my mind.
The more I'm finding out on both sides of my family tree, we all seem
to be from Airth. Think it's something to do with people moving
off the land and starting to work in the iron and coal industry in this
era.
Thanks again, regards
Richard

In James's case it looked like it was the opportunities that the railways offered
