You stated that his father was William on a BIRTH record. To help us to help you, please give the full details

Yes, Alviegal has posted the marriage details above, but we can't find any baptism for a James Cree born in Ayrshire around 1816 with father named William.


There's this William in Ayrshire, who would be of an age to have a son born c1816 - but no way to know if he ever did have a son named James.
You'd also have to look at the image of the census on ScotlandsPeople to see exactly what his name was - Cray or Dray.
Anyway - he's a joiner, not a yeoman.

Marriage record his Father was William
From IDS film no 1040304

This is the only baptism on SP of a James Cree with father William in approx 1816-ish.
BUT it's in Fife, not Ayrshire - on the other side of the country and a fair bit further north:

I'm not finding any birth records or even a William Cree born in Ayrshire early enough to be his father in any records.


There is this one but he's born in Fife.

oh thank you for that

I can't see a baptism on Ancestry with a father Wiliam - the only one seems to be for one with a father Andrew

The tree someone has on Ancestry has inaccurate links

Obviously born 1816

Marriages Jun 1847 (>99%)

You still need to look at SP….or buy a copy of the marriage cert

EDITED

The marriage is on LanOPC site…..free

Where on Ancestry did you find such recent Scottish births?

Look for his birth on Scotland’s people website and download a copy of the cert

You will need to purchase credits
