Biography

James was born in 1817. Parents are Samuel McConchie and Jean Craig Baptism/birth date: 07/05/1817, Parish: Penninghame

Other genealogy websites such as familysearch cite this James as son of [McConchie-245| Freeland McConchie] but this appears to be a mistake, conflating several different records.

There are several relevant contemporaneous Jameses in the genealogical record: 1. James Freeland, born/baptism 29/5/1817, Kirdcudbright to Robert Freeland (father), Janet Sturgeon (mother) ^[1] 2. James Gunn McConochie, born/baptism 17/12/1816, St Cuthbert's, to James McConochie (father, Jean Simpson (mother). ^[2] 3. James McConachie, born/baptism 23/03/15, Mortlach, with parents listed as "MCCONACHIE" only. ^[3]
