Notes: There doesn't appear to be a birth record for James. His parents appear to have only had one child, born 5th or 15th Nov 1834 at Culduthel and called John. James's stated ages at marriage and death are inconsistent. The person reporting the death may have got the age wrong or perhaps James lied about his age to marry an 18 year old? Could James be the child born as John? Unlikely, but if so, then he married at 54 and died aged 65. John's birth is recorded here.
