HI all I am trying to find information re James Dobbie whose AIF war record says he was born approx 1875 in Glasgow and was 40 years and 5 months when he signed up in 1915. He died one month after arriving in France with AIF - he joined up in Sydney, his occupation was marine fireman which was like a stoker. Trying to find information about him that might lead to a living relative. His next of kin was a male friend in Sydney. I believe he arrived in Sydney 1901 as a ship's crew member. All his records say he was unmarried. However it is possible he had realtives in NSW. I looked in the scotland 1881 census and the one real hit for his age and place of birth turned out not to be him. Perhaps he was much older than 40. Grateful for any ideas of where to look further please. regards Marg Port Stephens NSW
