I am trying to place John on my family tree. My great grandfather was William and I think John may have been his brother, but the DOB doesn't fit in. William's mother was Mary Boyd. Can anybody make any suggestions, please? John's wife was Annie Brown.

As you have the exact DOB, one assumes you have a birth cert........

Does the parental info tally with that of his 'brother'?

Thankyou Reggie,

That was a great help to me. No I do not have the birth certificate, I have been getting my info from others, Family Search and others.
