Im sorry but i cant find it on the Aust data base.

I assume you are talking about your father's birth registration?

MCINNIS KEITH Male PERTH 561 1925
http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx

There is no 'E' in his surname on the registration.

That's correct.
Arthur John was born 14 Dec 1913 & Keith was born 24 Feb 1925 so he wasn't 12yo for another 10mths.

Or perhaps it means John Arthur the 2nd? "John A II"

No, it's his age at the time of birth of his younger brother.
Australian birth certificates list the names & ages of previous births & deaths for older siblings.

A store belonging to Mr A McINNES was  rebuilt in 1919 after burning down in 1917.

Is this another burning store in 1930?

The WA Electoral Roll of 1916 shows Arthur , a storekeeper, and Ellen May McINNES at Bran??y Crt, Torbay.
