Thanks for picking up this old posting of mine. Am currently traveling but had some downtime so can look at some of the answers.

According to Scotland's people website John was definitely born in 1885 in Channelkirk to Alexander Sandilands and Margaret Keppie.

I've previously been in contact with the submitter and share a blank wall on John from before.

The trip found by JJ would certainly tie in with the watch. It may not have been his first trip to Canada, but all the old family members who would know, are sadly no longer with us.

Is there anyway to search death records for Canada to see if he died there?

I can not see a  death pre 1956 back in scotland, or a relevant marriage in scotland pre 1920
