Hi and welcome to Rootschat
I am posting details of the IGI entry for John so we know which county he was born in
JOHN LAIDLAW Birth: 07 SEP 1869 Yarrow, Selkirk Father: WILLIAM LAIDLAW Mother: JANE RIDDELL
He is with his parents in 1871 in Ettrick Selkirk aged 1yr but not in 1881
1871
William Laidlaw 32 b Ettrick - shepherd
Jane 26 b Cockpen Edinburgh
John 1 b Selkirk
Ettrick ED 5 Page 2 Line 14
1881 entry as follows
William Laidlaw 42 b Ettrick - shepherd
Jane 36 b Cockpen Midlothian
James 4 b Selkirk
Selkirk ED 10 Page 26 Line 18
1891 for West Linton Peebleshire
William Laidlaw 52 shepherd b Ettrick Selkirk
Jane 46 b Cockpen Edinburgh
John 21 shepherd b Yarrow Selkirk
James 14 b Selkirk
West Linton ED 4 Page 2 Line 21
In 1901 - James is still with father William in Peebles. Jane appears to have died and William is re-married to Mary b 1841 Selkirk
So any marriage for James would be from 1901 onwards and could be in Peebles
