I found an address for James B. Eddie in his hometown of Elgin, Scotland. It is 10 Murdoch's Wynd. This appears in
Proceedings and Debates of the Church Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, Held at Edinburgh, May 1881, ed. Reverent John Thompson. Edinburgh: John Ballantyne and Co. 1881.
Another piece of information about James B. Eddie is found the the Crocker's San Francisco Director online:
St. James' Mission (St. Paul's Parish). Location
—Clement street, near Fifth avenue. James B.
Eddie, Lay Reader. Sunday services, 7:30 p. m. only;
Sunday School at 2:30 p. m.
The Rev Herbert Elijah Probert who was a Congo missionary colleague of James Eddie at Equator Station in 1886, was my Great Uncle! He was the brother of my Great Grandfather - Enoch Probert- who was also a Baptist Minister (in South Wales) - Rev Herbert Probert published the "Life and Scenes in Congo" in 1889 - American Baptist Missionary Union.
