The Douglass family left Kelso and settled in Sunderland Durham England. Sons James Main Douglass and Robert Main Douglass died in Sunderland.

Hi
Website http://pvpfamilytree.tribalpages.com shows James Douglass, James Main Douglass, Jessie Mein and families, including Mary Geraldine Douglass - although the exact link is as yet uncertain.

Many thanks, GNU. I had not purchased the Kelso MIs so yr info very much appreciated. I'll order the certificate and see where it takes us. My focus is James. Also, your info that he was 'not' born Roxburgh is also extremely helpful, as all the C1841 said was 'born Scotland'. I agree, though, that this is probably as far as we'll get with my James!
(Re Esther death 1880, the address is the same at which Mary Geraldine Douglass was living on her own in the 1881 census.)
Thanks again for all your help
Lois

AHA Checking further, this James R Tate already had a wife at C1861, so my snapshot is not correct. I must say I don't generally rely on the 'links'/clues... oops.
So the qu now is an easy one - The Esther who died in 1880 in Kelso, was it as surname Douglass?
Cheers

PS If I knew how to remove my last totally wrong post, I would.

Re Esther death 1880 Kelso, dau of John Ormiston and Mary Marshall - our records indicated that she remarried James R Tait in 1866 after her husband Robert Douglass' death in Sunderland in 1860. I've attached a screenshot fyi.
I wonder if you could tell me - was her death in 1880 registered as surname 'Douglass'? I have looked on ScotlandsPeople and other places (surname Ormiston, Douglass, Tait/Tait).
Thank you

I can see where I've confused you in para 1 - should say 'James Douglass' second marriage' in 1852 - not James M.

The cert has been obtained. See para 1 of my earlier, long, post. As noted, his 2nd marriage (to Alice Shipley) shows father James, Baker, deceased.
His death cert has also been obtained, informant was the son.
