James Forsyth was born in Scotland.

James, son of Thomas Forsyth, was born in 1 and baptized on 18 January 1756 in Nenthorn, Berwickshire, Scotland.[1]

Jean Minto married James Forsyth on or after 14 July 1781 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.[2]

  1. Thomas Forsyth was baptized on 9 June 1782 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.[3]
  2. George Forsyth was baptized on 1 September 1783 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.[4] Assumed that he died before 1793 when a 2nd child was named George.
  3. Mary Ann Forsyth was baptized on 15 November 1784 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.[5]
  4. Isabel Forsyth was baptized on 22 February 1789 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.[6]

  7. Robert Forsyth was baptized on 10 August 1796 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.[9]
  8. Jean Forsyth was born 21 April 1799 in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.[10] Looks like Jean was baptised a 2nd time in England. Jean, daughter of James Forsyth & Jean Minto, was born in 1799 and baptized on 1 August 1799 in Newcastle on Tyne, Northumberland, England.[11]
  9. James, son of James Forsyth & Jane Minto, was born in 1801 and baptized on 16 January 1803 in Earsdon by North Shields, Northumberland, England.[12]

James (age 74) was buried on 4 February 1831 in Earsdon, Northumberland, England.[14]

RESEARCH NOTES

Birth: There is a James born in 1756 Nenthorn, Berwickshire, Scotland, but what proof is there that this is this James who was married and lived in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland?

Children: Maybe 2 more children born in Northumberland, England

Death: While I'm not sure this is the same James, it fits with his estimated birth and he had children baptised here

It appears this family moved from Scotland to England and had a few more children. While I'm not 100% sure the death record for the same James, it is in the right place to have been him. So far, the only record I've found is his name and age at the time of death, so I cannot confirm a relationship to his family.
