Researching descendents of James CALDER and Katharine MACURICH who were married in 1752
Nairn, Nairn. At the time of the marriage, James was from Auldearn, Nairn and Katharine
from Nairn, Nairn. I believe these were their children:
Isabel CALDER chr. 1754 Nairn, Nairn (no other information)
Margaret CALDER chr. 1756 Nairn, Nairn m. James TULLOCH 1780 Nairn, Nairn
John CALDER chr. 1763 Nairn, Nairn m. Margaret BAIN 1785 Nairn, Nairn
John CALDER chr. 1765 Nairn, Nairn (keeping him in this for now as no mother was listed at
his christening and am not sure if the first John died and the second was named in his
place).
I also believe that there was a James CALDER and William CALDER who went unrecorded.
William CALDER being my line and James CALDER who is circumstantially tied in by witnesses
at christenings to the above family descendents.
I am certainly sure that we are missing some children but those were the only recorded
christenings to a James CALDER in Nairn during that period (other than those that I could
attribute to James CALDER, farmer, who was married to Catharine MCPHERSON)
Several of the descendents emigrated to Canada (in my line between 1832 and 1851).
