His father's name was Robert Barr, colliery manager.

Umm... No James with a father Robert in the correct time frame especially as a Robert, colliery manager.
I can see a James born 1870 father Robert miner and one 1862 coal miner. Sorry
Someone else may have more luck especially if they have access to Scotlands People.
