PS - found your James on the 1951 - his age is very feint but looks like 39. So we might be talking about an 1811-1812 birth
PPS - As you're new - a hint - it's best to make sure that you put your replies after the final [ /quote ]
otherwise you're message get's buried in the blue. We've all done it!
did you get my last message

« on: Sunday 29 October 06 10:24 GMT (UK) »Hi Dennisexactly what I,m doing now can,t find any of them on the 1851 census ,sorry about the lesley but you sound like a lesley
Think the only way to go forward (backwards!) is to try to eliminate the ones on the list of baptisms that I gave you.
You would have to check to see if they appear in the Scottish censuses (Freecen) and follow them through.

PS - not sure where the Lesley came fom - it ain't me
PPS - I've just seen the details that you gave about James in the1851 - unfortunately it was buried in the quote from me abouve and obviously overlooked it

« on: Sunday 29 October 06 09:42 GMT (UK) »Hi again Dennisgood morning lesley
I've searched for him in 1851 in the hope that we could get more information. I can't find him in Eng & Wales or Scotland. He must have been mistranscribed badly.
It might be worth you trying to find him on the 1851, searching very widely.
Sorry.

I,ve got the 1851 census for james he was a visitor to a dorothy newton in the borough of hartlepool once again thanks for helping me trying to find his parents.
cheers Denis

« on: Saturday 28 October 06 21:39 BST (UK) »Hi Dennishe was 46 when he died 21st april 1856 occupation stone mason journeyman the informent was elizabeth wadday because his wife was near to giving birth to their 4th child.the info from death certificate and linda at berwick archives.this is as far as she could help me.
Sorry to not find anthing obvious but it would help if you could tell me the source of your information:
How do you know he was born around 1810 in Scotland?
What did it say on his death certificate - e.g. occupation, informant, etc.
All these things - and anything else that you have - might help locate him.

« on: Saturday 28 October 06 18:43 BST (UK) »Hi again
Curiouser and curiouser!
I have found Christian on the 1851 census in Berwick. James is not with her and she describes herself as 'head' and married. With her is a 7 year old son James Windersham.
Here are the details:
HO107/2421 Folio 497 Page 5 james was a visitor on the 1851 hartlepool census he was a stone mason christian was married to a robert windrem in 1842 so the 7 year old could be his son mispelt it gets more complicated if you want to know, I,ve only lived in berwick for 7 mths and decided to do my family tree then I found out my ancestors lived in berwick very interesting but james gunn is driving me round the bend prio to 1847.
Walkergate Lane, Berwick
Christiam Gunn, head, married, 27
James Windersham, son, 7, b.
Alexander Gunn, son, 2
Thomas, 6 mths
all born Berwick
I'll have another look for James. Was he a fisherman or sailor of some kind to explain why he wasn't at home?

This possibly suggests the Halkirk, Caithness baptism as the most likely but not realy enough evidence so far to go either way.
Where were the children born?
