Hence, I don't believe the 2 Catherine's in the 1841 census, Kirriemuir, are related to me. John Cuthbert could be my James Cuthbert's brother. However, I never been able to locate James parentage, exact date of birth, or birth location. My best guess was Rescobie, 1761 --- still unproven even after 20 years of searching. That is where their first 5 children were born. I do know he was not living in the 1841 census. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
