Fiona, you haven't given the surname - is this the family in 1901? This is the last Scottish census available so you won't be able to find the younger children until the 1911 becomes available (in 2011). There is no James on this one, though:

I am trying to trace relatives from Scotland and have used Scotlandspeople - which has been brilliant. However, I've come to a brick wall and hoping someone can help me.
I have found children by searching for the same surname in the town their parent's were married. I'm pretty sure there are other siblings but can't locate them. How do I find them when I don't know where the family lived or any other first names?

I have checked the Census and it only lists their eldest child who I already know of.

Thanks

Fiona
