I'd like a look up please for the family and for James in 1851. The one I'm after was born Bathgate and his mother was Agnes, therefore I hope this one:

So the question becomes: Is this Agnes nee MARSHALL?

1871
Registration District: Whitburn
Civil Parish: Whitburn
County: West Lothian
ED: 5
Roll: CSSCT1871_153
Address: Sheephousehill
Agnes Wardlaw Head 63 West Walden, Edin'
Robert Wardlaw G'son 7 Scholar Crofthead, Linlithgow
Hugh Sanderson Nephew 17 Carbake, Lanarkshire
Turner Lodger 22


When did Agnes die?

I don't know how Hugh fits in. That might help confirm we have the right Agnes.

Death 1886 WARDLAW Agnes (MARSHALL) Fauldhouse, W Lothian Age 78

Kirknewton, East & West Calder are listed in SP as being in W Lothian.



That can't be the right baptism for Agnes that I listed.

West Walden = West Calder for Agnes in 1871.
