Hi all. I have been trying to track James Dobbie who died in WW1 in 1916, France, one of the Fromelles burials.. Am trying to find which family he came from. Grateful for any guidance. Its quite a brick wall. According to his war record (Australian) the following "facts" are known. he was 40 years and five months when he signed up in July 1915. And he was born in Glasgow. His occupation was marine fireman (stoker?) His next of kin was a friend Arthur Horsefield of Sydney, so presume he had no family in Aus. I think I tracked him arriving as a crew man in Sydney in 1901. I looked in the 1881 census, thinking I could pick him out and tracked the most obvious candidate, born in Glasgow, though Scotlands People, but found he died in Slamannan in 1944. So perhaps my James was older than 40ish. Happy to be directed to any resources regards Marg Port Stephens NSW
