I can see James. Born 12 March 1831. Recorded in Parish Register. I did wonder about Grandpa's family connections in Newcastle. He was associated with work for Joseph Leech. The workshops his firm built were directly behind what are now the Law Courts. I have some quite early photographs (Maxie, William's younger brother. Subject matter is not necessarily recorded on back of them. However they are interesting). I have an elder sister. Honor Mairi Milne Kirkaldy. She lives in Grafton, Ontario, Canada. She has two children, but no grandchildren. I have two sons. And two grandchildren.

On further research I can see in records of Statutory Registers of births (230/ 13), that a son William is registered as born on 20th April, 1867. Parents:  George and Eliza (nee Kemp) Milne at Hatton of Oyne?

Those are the parents according to the IGI.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
