Hello

According to the IGI

James McArthur and Elizabeth McDoull/McDougall/McDowall (I've a feeling she's the same person), had the following children.

1.  JOHAN MC CARTHUR  Birth: 04 SEP 1857 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland 
 
 2. GEORGE MC ARTHUR  Birth: 25 SEP 1859 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland
 
 3. JAMES MC ARTHUR   Birth: 21 NOV 1862 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland

Am out of Scotlands Peoples credits, but a look at the 1862 birth will give date and place of marriage.  Any out there with the 1861 census ?  :O)

Regards,   Steve

Update:  The IGI also has an 1856 marriage for the above couple:
 26 MAR 1856   Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland

Note the spelling:

James MacArthur to Elizabeth McDowall -

(am not researching the family, just saw that there'd been no response to your post   :O)
