Hopefully service records will give some details of to who he is and hopefully he will be mine.

Hello Andy

Thank you for your help I thought like you about looking for them in Shropshire. 

Trouble with Scotland is that BMD were not compulsary to register until 1855.   I tried to find payments to these two for their service or maybe enrolment but don't know if there are any such records to get ages I am of the opinion he would have reached his majority when he married in 1798

They had a son Daniel who according to death certificate James and Jane where recorded as his parents.  Not found  Daniel or any other childrens registration. Daniel continued to live in Scotland and married at Inveresk with Mussleburg where he was living working as a shoemaker. Niether James or Jean Potter seem to have lived long enough to go on census? 

Thanks again for your help

His bride was born in 1775/76 found her originally from Wakefield.

Hello Andy

Thanks for that I am really struggling with James Potter who married in 1798 in Scotland.  It was recorded he was in the Shropshire Militia.  Was there also any ruling on where they would be born/living.  I know the Shropshire Militia went into Scotland (Edinburgh) in 1797. Both these in the subject married on the same day and stood witness for each other. There were at least a dozen of these militia married in Scotland between 1798/99. James Potter also said he was a tanner by trade and on his son Daniels death cert he is recorded as a shoemaker?  I have been unable to establish payments to these two soldiers or how old they were. Lots of people have James Potter being born in Scotland but he would have needed parental consent as he was under age on the birth they have plus I haven't seen any proof. Any assistance on Militia of James would be gratefully received
 I was advised to try and find them both.  Scottish records are terrible.  Eileen

Thanks for that these Potters are driving me mad lol
