Here we go an update
James apparently moved to Birmingham area and married a woman called Doreen
He returned to peterhead late 60s early 70s
He had 1 son and 2 daughters ,
Great Barr - Birmingham was mentioned ?
I spoke to a nephew of his and nobody up in our area knows anything about him after 70s
Can anyone find anything now ?
Apparently he went with a Ritchie surname Aswell later in life ? Maybe not though worth a go ?

I found a marriage for Jane b cowie
1915 she married George Ritchie farm servant
I also found
A death in 1951 but strangely enough
Her name is recorded as Jane buchan cowie (Ritchie )
Don’t know why buchan appears but her parents are the same as mentioned on the census so that confirms it’s her
I also think it’s the same parents mentioned on her birth in 1890 which I must look into again
Hope the above helps

Hi folks
I came across this a few weeks ago but yesterday I requested a copy
I ordered a record from the paternity index on Scottish indexes
I was drawn to a record
Jane bruce cowie and James smith , Middletown of rattray
(James smith is my great grandfather)
I knew that in 1914 this couple
Had an illegitimate son (George) , sadly he later died in infancy
I have never seen the paternity records so I purchased it
First glance I was thinking I hadn’t achieved much more information
Until ……
I woke this morning and read over again
I couldn’t not take it what I was reading
It appears the same couple had another male child 3 year before the second one born in 1911
Wow
So I decided to have a look on Scotlands people for births of Males in 1911 in peterhead
I chose James smith as that was the fathers name
Sure enough I found a record of James smith born illegitimate to Jane bruce cowie and James smith
I cannot believe I haven’t found this before now and what’s more interesting this man was probably living in peterhead the same time as grandfather ,
Did they know they had a sibling ?
Can anyone help me find info on James smith who was born in 1911 in peterhead ? I would be keen to find a death cert
Also I would be keen to find a death certificate for mother Jane bruce cowie who was born around 1890 in peterhead
Thanks
