Hi Banshee 

Not sure whether any of these came up in the chatroom when we were both there but in addition to the one irret found, I've found these baptisms of a James Gunn to the following parents :

9 Dec 1809 Scott Gunn and Elizabeth Sinclair, Halkirk

11 Nov 1810 William Gunn and Jane Fraser, Ardesier

7 March 1810 George Gunn and Margaret Lesk, Orphir

5 Dec 1810 to Adam Gunn and Margaret Shiels, Edinburgh

I've been trying to track him down in the 1851 census in the Sunderland area and the only one that fits is married to a Mary and born Scotland 1815 

Have you checked the 1841 and 1851 censuses yet? His children's names might help you to narrow down your search.

Hi Dennis

Do you know what Christian's parents' names were? This again might help because of Scottish naming conventions - not always used mind

Hi again Dennis 

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?
