Hi,
My great-great-great grandfather was William Pirie of Bush Aberdeenshire. He had a brother named George who emigrated to Canada and settled near Hamilton Ontario. My great-great-grand father was maned George and he had two brothers named James and John. This James could be the James you are referring to, but I don't have anymore information about that leg of the family. My great-grandfather's name was James b.1838 but he married Jessie Scott on May 29th 1858 at New Deer, Aberdeen. My grandfather's named was John S. Pirie.
I can tell you that William's fathers was named John, who lived near Auchnagat Winnieminnis, Aberdeenshire. I seems that there are a lot of Johns, Williams, Georges and James'and Annes in this Pirie family. Hope I have been of some help and feel free to email me.
