Hmmm

I think that I've found him on the 1841 in South Leith (Parish No 692/2 Ed 5b Page 1), with mother, Margaret.  He's a painter and glazier  :(

Also, one in Aberdeen, aged 35-39, who's a mason, journeyman but he is married with many children. This one would need to be followed up to check. Parish - Old Machar 168b ED 16  P 3

added - the Aberdeen one is the only mason b.c. the correct time who is listed on the 1841 Scotland census  that I can see
my james was about 36 when he married christian in 1847. they had 4 children after the marriage so i dont think it is probable that the one you have kindly found is him. thanks for your help

What birthplace is given in 1851?

What parental/occupational/witness info is on 1847 marriage cert?

PAuline
the only information i have is that christian heslop married a robert windrem on june 26 1842, witnesses john white,shusann gutrie then married james gunn on march 28 1847 in the name of chritianan windrem witnesses james dixon and jane conighie. james gunn was a stonemason journeyman and was born in scotland, i dont know his parents names or if he had any siblings. this is how i can not go any further back as there are many james gunn.i would be grateful for any clues that may help.his marriage was classed as an irregular marriage. as i have no info before his marriage it would be a waste of time researching scotland as i have no clues.

ANY INFORMATION ON JAMES GUNN WHO MARRIED CHRISTIAN HESLOP IN 1847 AT LAMBERTON TOLL ON THE SCOTTISH BORDERS. THEY MOVED TO SUNDERLAND IN 1851/2 WHERE JAMES DIED IN 1856 AGED 46. THE INFORMATION I WOULD LIKE IS WHERE JAMES LIVED PRIOR TO HIS MARRIAGE AS I CAN NOT GET ANY FURTHER BACK THAN 1847

morning lesley gadget ;D
                                        forgot to tell you I,m from the hunter clan and when I moved to berwick 7 mths ago decided to do the family tree and found the gunn,s played a big part ,according to my brother james gunn crossed the borders from the isle of arran I,d ask my mother but she,s 95 and her minds gone so I dont know how true it is .the hunter tree goes as far as 1778 dead stop. but I,m more interested in the gunn side love scotland must be in my genes ,I,ll try and find apprenticeships for stone masons I,ll be back.

I,ll check it out on thursday is a stone mason the same as a free mason,I might have found a link see what you think,found an 1841 census with a alexander gunn & mary ewer as the parents of a james gunn aged 30 yrs born in ross & cromarty poolewe theres also a john gunn on it aged 35 might be his brother, but I can,t find any of them on 1851 census I clicked on to next household and found john gunn aged 35 and a barbara gunn aged 30 could be his wife.
