Hi rootgatherer,
Yes, I have but there are so many it's difficult to make a decision which to go for and unless it said he was married to Marrion Stupart it would be difficult to know you had the right one.
Jim.

Assuming he died in Edinburgh, and assuming he was born 1817+/-3, and died between 1871 and 1881, this is the only death showing on SP(which is surprising, as it's such a common name):

HUNTER
JAMES
56
1873
685/5 9
Newington

In 1871 he was living in the Newington district.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

James Hunter is my Great Great Grandfather and I have been searching for his birth and death over several years with no success.
He married Marrion Stupart in Edinburgh on 24 Nov 1837. His age was given as 21 and he was a tailor.
1841 Census - Living in Edinburgh, age between 20 and 24, tailor.
1851 Census - Living in Glasgow, age 35, tailor.
1861 Census - Living in Edinburgh, age 44, tailor.
1871 Census - Living in Edinburgh in his son's household, age 54, porter.
His wife died in1868. According to his wife's death record, he was a Jobbing Bottler at that time.
According to the censuses, he was born in Eyemouth (old spelling Haymouth),
Berwickshire, Scotland.
I'd very much like to know when he was born and where and when he died.
