Hi,

Do you have his marriage cert? If he was married in Scotland you would get his parents names off of that. My great gran was the same...could not find her birth anywhere then found it under her mothers maiden name.

Hi,

Been trying to look for a possible William in the 1901 but cant see one that matches in Scotland. There is a William McKinnon, brn Scotland..age 4..living as a nephew with an Alexander and Lillian Penman in St Pancreas , London. Does this name mean anything to you?

What was Williams fathers occupation down as on his marriage cert? Will try again and see if I can see a possible in the scottish census.

hi, i have check that one out and most of the date within five years or so.
his father was a moulder.
i have found a william mckinnon with a father of same name and the father was a moulder however this william was born 1889 not 1898,do you think it would have been possible to have lied about his age,he was in the merchant navy and his middle name was stuart.

Hi,

Had a look on Scotlands People and there was a William Stewart McKinnon born Barrhead and Leven, Renfrewshire in 1889 and there is also one born 1901 Stevenson, Ayr. Where did you get the information that your William was born in Falkirk?

Hi,

Had some spare credits so had a look.

The William born 1889 is not yours, his father was Neil but the 1901 looks more promising

William Stewart McKinnon, brn 5th April 1901, Shore Road, Stevenson.

Father William McKinnon , Iron moulder. Mother Margaret Ann McKinnon MS Dunbar

There was also a twin brother on the same page called Daniel Dunbar McKinnon.

I guess he could have lied about his age to get into the Navy but the birth date does not match what you have for William

Will PM you with details
