Re reply #1. The court would have been Kilmarnock Sheriff Court and not Ayr.

World War One / Re: Which John Brookmyre
« on: Friday 27 November 20 11:49 GMT (UK) »
Thanks Jim.
http://scottishmilitaryresearch.weebly.com/uploads/7/3/9/1/73918079/scottish_military_research_using_family_photographs.pdf
is a site which helps identify Scottish Regiments.
I am hoping someone can access military records to see if they can identify and confirm the birthdate of John (1895).
John Brookmyre, 333779 is my best guess for this man.

World War One / Which John Brookmyre
« on: Thursday 26 November 20 20:40 GMT (UK) »
I am researching the Brookmyre side of my family.
I have a John Brookmyre, born 1891 and a John Brookmyre, born 1895 who are cousins.
John (1891) was killed in action at the Battle of Flanders in August 1918. He was with the 52 division, 1/5 City of Glasgow Battalion, Highland Light Infantry (HLI), number 1619, 200232.
I have a photograph of a soldier in military Highland dress and it is annotated John Brookmyre, born 1885. It appears to me that the uniform is of the Highland Light Infantry. I am not sure if this photo identifies the correct John.
I am having difficulty identifying John (1895) as part of a military unit.
I have found a John Brookmyre with army numbers 4184, 150523, 251689 and 276226 but his birthdate appears to be 1884-1886. His units are the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders and the Royal Engineers.
There is another John Brookmyre who was in the HLI and his army number is 333779. I know nothing more of him. Could he be born 1885?
There is also a Hugh Brookmyre who was in the Cameron Highlanders, number 24069 and L.C.?? number 3681. He might be a brother of John (1895).
Can anyone assist with filling in some gaps to allow me to properly identify the John in the photo.

Could he have been in jail for a henious crime and his family disowned him?
He appears to have gone missing for a long time on two occasions.

Forfarian.
I live in Ayrshire so can access the Scotland's People archive at the Burns Monument centre in Kilmarnock.
Thank you for that specific information. Very helpful.

I strongly suspect that there might have been some sort of "adoption" along the way however the subject is not up for discussion with my relative despite my polite requests.
I will carry out further routine enquiries to see if I can progress my family tree in that way but other than that I will respect his privacy.
Many thanks for your input.

Many thanks for your interesting reply which makes perfect sense.
Do you know if there is a process to obtain details of the affiliation and aliment action or to get further information from the GRO or the local court if it can be identified?
Would a formal/informal adoption be a suitable reason for the corrected entry?
