Many years later I am picking up my search again and hoping my old friends on here can help me crack a 100+ year old family mystery! I am searching for a birth record of my great grandfather, James Millar. The 1911 census lists his birth place as Grahamston, Scotland and the 1921 census lists it as Falkirk, Scotland so I suppose this confirms it is Grahamston, Falkirk. However, in 1921 he lists his age as 43 years and 1 month and in 1911 he lists his age as 28. So it's unclear if his year of birth is around 1883 or 1878. His marriage certificate is consistent with the 1911 census year dates but an official search for his birth certificate, many years ago, using this date drew nil results. So, it could be the case that he is a few years older than he said he was on the census and his marriage certificate. On his marriage certificate of 1911 James's farther is listed as 'George Millar deceased.' I don't know his mothers name. My grandmother thought his date of birth was 24 April, but I have no evidence this is correct. Even with this new information I am still not getting any further forward. I would very much appreciate some helping in cracking this mystery!
