Profiles Mentioned:

On Scotlands People there are 16 baptisms (see below) for James Sim(p)sons recorded in the Banffshire area around Cullen where James married Janet Andrew, and many more a little further afield.
For the earlier James's the marriage could have been a second or third marriage, not unusual at the time.
Some of the names of other parent sets would present more viable options if James and Janet followed traditional naming patterns.
Many records for the marriages of the couples listed as parents below are missing, and there are marriage records for further couples, for example with the names William and Elizabeth, for whom there appear to be no baptisms. The fact alone that George and Mary have both a marriage on record and a set of children following that marriage which include a James, are insufficient reason to consider them definitive parents of James.
If anyone can show me additional sources which cross-reference and amount to something like proof, I would be happy to consider these.
