Can someone have a look at this one for me, I have a William Wotherspoon born in or about 1878. His alleged to be the son of William Waddell Wotherspoon and Jane (Jeanie) Arthur Knox.

I am completely mystified as all I can find is a FamilySearch file which if I am reading correctly, says he died in Scotland in 1902 but emigrated to Australia in 1908 and fathered a child in 1915 :-S

Thanks,

James
