Hi I have a James Burns born 1857 in Hamilton LKS (Parents Thomas Burns & Ann Williamson). James named his second son Patrick (and this has carried on down the generations) it may be that Patrick is a family name and that he may have had a brother Patrick. James worked in a colliery. Do you know where in Scotland he was born?
