This information appears to confuse two men. One was born in Hawick in 1703, went out to Russia as described, returned to the south of England in 1757 but returned to Russia, dying in Moscow in 1763. The one who was appointed to St Thomas hospital in 1764 (a year after the death of the other one!), married Ann LeGrand and lived in Charterhouse Square was born in Berwick upon Tweed in 1729 and died in 1773. There is no reason to think that he travelled to Russia. Lindamchapman (talk) 16:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These two have definitely been confused here. (ODNB lists both). Andrew Gray (talk) 09:41, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fellow of the Royal Society

[edit]

The records of the Royal Society list a "James Greive" (died 9 July 1773) as being elected on 23 February 1769.[1] Given the mention of this alternate spelling at wikisource:Grieve, James (DNB00), but slightly different election date, I have adjusted the red link at List of Fellows of the Royal Society G,H,I to point here.
