Notes |
- In 1881 John is found in Easter Torrie residing with his sister and brother Donald and Margaret and his uncle Donald. In 1881 John is employing 15 year old Kenneth McColl (born Comrie, birth not found) as a farm servant. Census records consistently show John as having been born in Callander, not Aberfoyle where he was baptised. It's possible that he was only baptised in Aberfoyle, and not born there. The Aberfoyle OPR has not yet been consulted.

father John b 1859 (sic) in Balquhidder (recorded as "Father")
