There are two different unrelated family groups discussed in this post. My response was specifically to the query about Marjory Leven Scott.

Marjory Leven Scott was born Mey Ferguson Miller in Perth in 1826. Her parents were Thomas Miller and Mey Leven. Mary Ferguson Miller married John Scott in 1851 in Perth, father called Thomas. Gilbert Gordon Miller born in Perth in 1857 and appearing as a Brother of Marjory Leven Scott in 1861 has parents John Scott and May Ferguson Miller.

I was talking about the O’Pray family in 1911. I know we have found the Shulman family. Interestingly John Hendry O’Pray didn’t die till 1933!
ADD I have found John Henry on his own in Gorbals in 1911. It looks as if there were four children who all died as infants.

I just had a look at the 1898 marriage and it is her. Parents Thomas O’Brien, Commissionaire and Margaret O’Brien m/s Kane. Same details as on the Shulman marriage in 1908.

I believe Annie O’Brien may have been married before she married David Schulman in Glasgow in 1908. There is a marriage in 1898 in Glasgow between a John Henry O’Pray and an Annie O’ Brien. The 1901 census indicates that Annie O’Pray was born around 1878 in the East Indies. This is an exact match for Annie O’Brien/Shulman as regards year and place of birth. Can’t find the family in 1911. John Henry and Annie had two children by 1901 and there are other likely births in the years following.

This query has just resurfaced on another board. As a result I have just had a look at the 1921 English census. This shows Eveline as Evelyn Johnson living in Stretford, Manchester with mother Annie (Annie married Bertram Johnson on 21 April 1921, shortly after the death of David Schulman) The 1921 Census shows Evelyn as born 1905 in Scotland which appears to confirm what many of us thought - that she was the five year old Eva Barrett Schulman listed as a stepdaughter of David and Annie in the 1911 Scottish census and was therefore born much earlier than the OP thought. Just thought others who worked on this might be interested.

Okay I think I have found you proof that the James who died in 1862 is not yours. In 1851 there is a James Christie age 30 in Kirkgate Perth who is a Grocer. He has a servant called Hellin Rae born around 1832 in Auchtermuchty. This matches with Helen Rae who married James Christie and subsequently John Roy. She also was born in Auchtermuchty in 1832. In 1851 your James was living with his wife and family. You know from his death certificate that the James who died in 1862 was the son of James Christie and Ann Rough so they are not the parents of your James who are almost certainly John Christie and Ann McIntosh. Your James Christie went to Canada.

The trees on Ancestry actually say Agnes Tough Christie died AFTER 1881. The trees actually include census entries for her in 1891 and 1901.
