James Innes

1862 - 1943  (80 years)

• Name	James Innes
  Birth	Nov 1862	Drumblade, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
  	According to James's military records he would have been born in Nov 1862. Cannot locate an entry in Banffshire or Aberdeenshire that would match for this. We have some possible entries but no actual proof of who James's mother might have been. It is also very strange that Alexander - his father records his birth as being in Keith Banffshire and aged 8yrs in the 1871 Census, and yet Alexander records his nephew James Watt as being born in Drumblade Aberdeen. Would have thought Alexander would have recorded the correct place of birth. James records his place of birth on all records as Drumblade Aberdeen. Need contact with family to help with this matter.
