In order to verify the baptismal date and parentage of James Be(a)ll, we engaged the services of the Scots Ancestry Research Society, at 20 York Place, Edinburgh 1, Scotland. On Jul 28, 1967 the secretary of the Society, Miss Patricia Baxendine wrote this compiler that she had located the following marriage and birth records, in the old Register for St Andrew’s Church in St Andrews:
- Thursday 26th of March 1646 contracted Alexander Bell with Margaret Ramsay, both in this Citie, married 21st May
- 5th Feb 1652 Alexander Bell, brabener (weaver) & Margaret Ramsay, a son baptized called James. William and Janet Gourlayes witnesses
Other children found to have been recorded to the above couple … were:
“William baptised 22: 8: 1647 Witnesses: Wm Bell & Alexander Young”
“Alexander baptised 11:10:1649 Witnesses: Alexander Young and John Gibsone”
