James's birth record in the Old Parish Record in Couper Angus says:
"«i»William Lundie, teacher and Mary Tasker had a lawful child born 10 March 1853 named James."
«/i»By the time that the first census captured James, the family had moved to Auchterarder where his father, was a schoolmaster. The «b»1871 Scotland Census«/b» recorded an 18-year old James as a student teacher in Auchterarder. Could he have been training under his own father? He was living at home with his family.
«b»1875: James Lundie,«/b» and Marshall, MA, are both listed as 1st year students in the Junior Hall, Divinity Hall, at Edinburgh University. His brother, John, MA, was listed among the 4th Year students, Senior Hall.

«i»Auchterarder. Death of the Rev James Lundie. There reached Auchterarder last week the sad news of the death on the 21st last, of Rev. James Lundie, Chaplain to the English residents in Huelva, Spain. This gentleman, who was the son of Mr W.H. Lundie, for so many years master of the Sheddan School here, went to Spain several years ago along with his brother Mr Marshall Lundie, MA, now also dead.
Mr Lundie had for many years past taken a deep interest in the spiritual and material welfare of the English residents in Huelva, and was taken away when just about to see the successful completion of his labours on their behalf. An interesting account was recently given of Mr Lundie's work by the Rev. Daniel R. Killpatrick, Glasgow, in a pamphlet entitled "Time of Refreshing in Spain" where he tells of the better accommodation recently provided for the schools connected with the Rio Tinto Company, where divine worship will be conducted, Mr Lundie having himself drawn out the plans and specifications. There were also by his efforts established a reading-room and restaurant for the officers and seamen connected with the shipping in the port. «/i»

**********
Rev. James Lundie, M.A. - To the deep sorrow of the English and Spaniards at Huelva, Spain, this beloved missionary died unexpectedly on the 21st of March.
At Edinburgh University, where a few years past he received the Master of Arts degree, two of his brothers on that occasion had the same honor conferred upon them. One of the latter, Mr. Marshall Lundie accompanied him to Spain and there ultimately succumbed in the Master's cause. The third of the brothers, the Rev. John Lundie, represents the Scotch United Presbyterians in Kaffraria, in which capacity he is sustained by a genuine missionary partner.
The subject of this memorial notice was on the eve of completing special work for the benefit of the English residents and the native classes. A pamphlet named "«i»Times of Refreshing in Spain«/i»," recently published in Glasgow, contains ;l bright narrative of his toils for the better school accommodation of the families connected with the Rio Tinto Company, and increased facilities of worship.
He was equally esteemed by the officers and seamen at the shipping port for whom he opened a restaurant and reading-room, and as steadfastly sought their spiritual welfare.

The Lawn Tennis match between the Recreation Club and the "Sevilla Football Club" was confirmed and agreed between the two clubs in the "La Provincia" newspaper on March 22, 1890, although as it can be read it was suspended and moved to the following Saturday due to the death of the evangelical pastor Mr. Lundie:
The aforementioned press release reads: "... next Saturday will take place at the sites and times already announced"
All this is again evidenced by another press release, this time appeared on March 28, 1890 in the newspaper "La Provincia", also, and in which it is said literally:
"Tomorrow Saturday the members of the Football Club of Seville arrive to take part in the two ball games announced. The main game, which is football, will be played on the grounds of the gas factory ... "
Gravestone in Huelva reads:
In Loving remberence of Rev James Lundie, M.A.
English minister in Huelva,
born at Achterarder 10 March 1853
Dies Huelva 20 march 1890
Peace - perfect Peace. [photograph of gravestone in Lundie file]

The English gravestones are in a separate area accessible from the inside of this well cared for Spannish graveyard only with a key and apparently with permission fom the Anglican diocese [!] or the tourist bureau[!]. However we found you could look in from the outside as it is not surrounded by the solid walls as the rest of the cemetery is but is rather on the outside. It was in a dreadful state, totally uncared for. When we were there, this section was overrun with weeds and creepers, and there we piles of stinking fishheads deliberately placed near the fence. No wonder they didn't want us to go and look inside.
A photograph (taken about 1886) located in the Amathole Museum in King William'sTown, South Africa, which includes his brother John, who was a missionary in that area, shows a man almost a head taller than his brother John, with a serious expression on his face. See the photograph in "The Lundie Clan" accessible from the main page. This is thought to be Rev. James Lundie.
Have down loaded his will from ScotlandsPeople.
