Christening
24 FEB 1832
Wick, Caithness, Scotland
entries for 24th Feb (IGI has 2 Mar 1832) include these two baptisms for children of George McAdie and Elizabeth Rosie, reading: McAdie George, Grieve at Killimster, had by his wife Elizabeth Rosie a son born Decr 14th 1831 & bapd James. - Witt. David Farqhuar, Farm Servant at Killimster & Margaret Leith there. - Also a son born April 3rd 1830, & bapd William - Witt. Jean McAdie in Windlass & Donald Scott, Servant in Ackergill[9]
25 JAN 1841
Wick, Caithness, Scotland
entry has not been checked, but definitely exists - why?[10][11]
So James has finally been put in his rightful place in the tree. It did seem likely that he would be the James married to Isabella BRUCE in Wick, 1854 (intermarriage between this family and that of James' brother Robert), but the second wife was a bit of a surprise, at least to me.[13][14]
