Many APT records have James and Margaret dying in Sydney, New South Wales, but no sources are shown for this, and they also incorrectly attribute an 1851 census record at Edinburgh to this couple which belongs to another James & Margaret Blackadder couple of a different age. These records also have 4 more births, but sources not found. Further listings on FamilySearch may or may not be accurate.

However, their son William was in Sydney by 1833 for his marriage.
