I know James was born in 1816 in Scotland and settled in Cape Town as did his brothers Gordon and George. I wondered if anyone know from which part of Scotland they came from as I have Murison in my family tree. Any info would be appreciated

Only 3 James born 1816 in Scotland.
MURISON JAMES JAMES MURISON/CHRISTIAN STEWART 14/10/1816 Aberdour
MURISON JAMES JAMES MURISON/ 07/04/1816 Peterhead
MURISON JAMES ALEXANDER MURISON/JANNET LUKE 03/09/1816 Pitsligo
This is the best match I can find on Scotland's People for the names mentioned, you would need to check the records on this pay to view site. I only checked the name Murison which is often recorded as Morrison.
Two concerns the birth of the second James and the date for Gordon and George.
MURISON born/baptised Peterhead father JAMES MURISON
JAMES 07/04/1816
GORDON 22/06/1830 – this is the only Gordon on SP - 1790 - 1840
GEORGE 14/11/1830
Plus but not sure if all one family: Alexander 1812 Margaret 1813, Barbara 1819 & Elizabeth 1828
And another James 1824?
