Hi Charlotte
Looking at IGI most of the Scottish birth entries for McQuade's are shown born in Lanark with only a few exceptions. I tend to agree with Emma that although not in Peebleshire, Lanark is the most likely place of birth.
Not sure if you found the following 1861 Census entry:
1861 Lanchester, Co Durham, Parish of Conside and Knitsley, Ecclesiastical Parish of Benfieldside.
Address: John Street
Residing with Clark family are
John McQuade, Boarder, Marr, M, 40yrs, puddler, bn Ireland
Jane McQuade, Boarder, Marr, F, 34yrs, bn Ireland
Mary McQuade, Boarder, F, 8yrs, scholar, bn Scotland
James McQuade, Boarder, M, 6yrs, bn Scotland
Rose Mcquade, Boarder, F, 2yrs, bn Scotland
Jane Mcquade, Boarder, F, 3mths, bn County Durham
This would give James an approx birth date of 1855 so possiblity it is yours.
Possibility that the family were Roman Catholic and the births recorded with the Catholic church hence not found in the OPR's. Pre 1855 Catholic records are held at National Archives of Scotland.
Hope this helps
