The 4th May birthdate tallies with this 1778 baptism in Wemyss, Fife;

This has all been discovered before. It's an old Scottish family.  http://genealogy.links.org/links-cgi/readged?/home/ben/camilla-genealogy/current+c-chart25899+2-2-0-1-0

So I'm not really understanding Dawn's question.

Hi to All

Many thanks for all the information, it is the right James Wemyss, he was born in Fife in Scotland,  he married my 5th great aunt and went to India.  I was wondering if any of the childrens wifes and husbands were Indian, I look like no one in any of my family sides, I have dark hair and dark eyes and trying to find some photos them to see if I am like any of them

Many thanks
Dawn

Just a pity you hadn't mentioned that to begin with 
Your request was.............

Can anyone tell me if the Wemyss family were actually Indian or English?

Nothing about knowing they were Scottish or that you were looking for the descendants

Wild goose chase

Hi Dawn,

My family are Wemyss' from India but originally from Scotland as are all(?) Wemyss'.  I have Anglo Indian heritage myself but have found that mixed race marriages were not often recorded so it's difficult to trace you're ancestry on the Indian side. 
My family are a different branch to yours but I have recorded on my website many Wemyss' with a link to India which you may find useful.  http://www.wemyss.me.uk
