The birth cert for James John would give the full details of his parents and usually gives the date of parents marriage - that can sometimes be wrong

Hello

I am trying to trace the Weir's of Strachur. James John b 1895 son of John b1866 and Elizabeth (both James and John were Game keepers in their livetimes). I think John was son of Peter an Christina, again peter was a Game keeper. Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jackie
