James Anderson/Weaver from Bathgate

[Billy Anderson]

Hi all,
I have James Anderson weaver married to Christian Wright father of my John Anderson letter carrier Bathgate.
I can not find the birth marriage or death of James Anderson or Christian Wright.
Have found the possible parents of James Anderson as John Anderson and Isobel Mirry with a date of birth as 2nd Oct 1758.
On Familysearch can anybody help confirm this possible birth and parentage,
cheers,
Billy Anderson.

Billy,  apparently Bathgate had 500 weavers at one time and a wild lot, see

Thanks Skoosh,
And when the weavers became idle the cooncil got them to smash up rocks for road building happy days,
