Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in UK

Born in Banbridge, County Down about 1857.

Parents are William (James?) McKeown and Jane Russell.

Moved to Glasgow, Scotland at an unknown date then married Isabella McLean on 09Mar1883.

 

The 1891 Scottish census said he was born in Banbridge, County Down around 1857.

Marriage record: father was named William McKeown and mother named Jane Russell.

Death record: father was named James McKeown and mother named Jean Russell.

I understand that Jane and Jean can be used interchangeably, but I don't know how William can become James.

Since father and son were both named 'William' perhaps 'James' was the father's middle name or nickname to distinguish father and son?
