In 1871 census James and his wife Elizabeth/Betsy and young son were living at Lochside, his father's farm. He was a grocer. James moved to Fiddlers after his father died. In the 1881 census he is listed as a farmer at "Viewforth" the new name for Fiddlers.
James wife Elizabeth went to the USA in 1904. In US 1910 and 1920 census she is living with her Son in law and her daughter Isabella. She is described as a widow. More acceptable in those days than saying she had a husband in Burray. In the 1921 Burray census James is mistakenly entered as a "widower" at Viewforth.
