Notes:

The 1841 census of Glen of Pitlowrie, Kinfauns Parish, shows James Edward, age 55, day labourer; Margaret Edward, age 14; David Edward, age 12; Robert Edward, age 9; Elizabeth Guthrie, age 50, and; William Grant, age 2, the illegitimate son of Catherine Edward. In the christening record of his son, William (1813), James was described as a workman in Nether Durdie, in the parish of Kilspindie. In their marriage record in Kilspindie, James' residence was given as Kilspindie, and Elizabeth's was given as Kinfauns. This may be the James Edward who was born in Forfar in 1787, the son of James Edward and Jean Grant.

James Edward was a ploughman in Whiteriggs of Clashbenny at the time of his daughter Jean's birth in 1814. In 1829, he was a foreman at Fala. In addition to the marriage record at Kilspindie, there is also a marriage record for James Edward and Elizabeth Guthrie at Kinfauns, Perthshire, Scotland, just five days later, on 31 October 1812.

James married Elizabeth Guthrie on 26 Oct 1812 in Kilspindie, Perthshire, Scotland. Elizabeth (daughter of William Guthrie and Jean Tait) was born in 1791 in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland; was christened on 12 Nov 1791 in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland; died on 12 Sep 1849 in Glen of Pitlowrie, Kinfauns, Perthshire, Scotland; was buried on 13 Sep 1849 in Kinfauns Churchyard, Kinfauns, Perthshire, Scotland.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Occupation: agricultural laborer
• Census: 1841, Kinnoull, Perthshire, Scotland
• Census: 1851, Garry Cottage, Barnhill, Kinnoull, Perthshire, Scotland

Notes:

William Guthrie was described as a workman at Pow of Errol (1788), Mains of Errol (1790 and 1791), and Lorny (1794) in the baptismal records of his children. The marriage of William and Jean Tait was recorded in the minutes of the Kirk session of 9 July 1787. At the time of the 1841 census, he was living in the parish of Kinfauns. Living with him were his daughter, Helen, and her three children, Robert, Alexander, and Jean. At the time of the 1851 census, these same people were living together at Garry Cottage, Barnhill, Kinnoull Parish, Perthshire. There is no proof that three of the children (Anne, Charles, and James) listed for William and Jean Tait Guthrie were in fact their children. This may be the William Guthrie recorded in the parish records of Dunbarney as having had a child in 1804. This William Guthrie was identified as a servant to John Archer, tenant at Easter Kinmonth, which seems to differentiate him from the William Guthrie identified as a weaver in other Dunbarney baptismal records.

William married Jean Tait on 9 Jul 1787 in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland. Jean (daughter of William Tait and Helen Croyle) was born in 1764; was christened on 23 Aug 1764 in Errol, Perthshire, Scotland; died on 18 Jul 1836 in Kinnoull, Perthshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the death record of her daughter, Margaret Guthrie Alexander, Jean's name is given as Jane Tait. This is probably the Mrs. Guthrie whose death and burial are recorded in the parish records of Kinnoull Parish. Her burial date was 18 July 1836, and the mortcloth fee was paid on 6 July 1836. Cause of death was old age (73), and the burial was in Kinnoull.
