Thank you Kirsty - good to see a fresh set of brains on the case!
I think I have James in the 1891 as well. Living in Heggies Wynd, Kirkcaldy and Abbotshall, Fife. With him are his wife Jane and his sister 'Maggie'. James is a Quarryman, which is the occupation both on his marriage certificate and the 1881 census I found.
If anyone would like to have a look at the 1881 census it shows James Livingstone, lodger, living at West Port, Kilsyth. He is with Agnes Shaw, widow, aged 38 and her daughters Jane Shaw age 2, Agnes Simpson aged 8 and Catherine Simpson aged 10. I think Agnes and Catherine may be stepchildren. I wonder if they are some relation to the George Simpson who Margaret married - or just a coincidence.
Anyway, this is all very interesting but unfortunately is not yet leading us to James senior - wonder where the b....r went?
