Yeah, unfortunately no image to double-check

[DaveHam9]

The James Thomson & Mary Menzies marriage is not on SP.

With Mary born 1858 and son James born Peru in 1878 there is not much of a date range for the marriage.

Thanks Geoff.

No birth on SP for a James Thomson with middle name Richard in the index.

8x births for a James with parents James & Mary - no Stedman.

No marriage for a James Thomson to a Mary Stedman/Steadman.

I'm stuck now.
