Hi Brian
I agree with Andrew re Ian being James, in view of the census of 1881, and the fact that Ian is a variant of John'
Maiden name of the mother does look like Fairley.
Best wishes

Sorry Pinkshoes, I was busy editing at the same time as you were writing. James was in that edit.

All the best,

Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your help - I agree that No. 10 is more likely to be James than Ian - in light of your comments about Ian being the Gaelic form of John, and the fact that there is a James listed in the 1855 Census that I should've noticed . I got carried away with my 1855 certificate!
The help I've had with this family in the last three days [see my post on Opium Poisoning in Stat Records topic] has been fantastic - I just hope that I can return the favour one day.....
