My cousin gave me a copy of the enlistment/discharge papers.I have investigated Hamilton McInnes who is the supposed father of John.I have come to a full stop before they came to Glasgow.If this was the family[which my cousin disputes]it would tie in with John's age and he gives the name of Hamilton as his father on the marriage certificate. No other Hamilton McInnes has been found.
