Theory that James was adopted by Rachel Graham and Walter Chisholm, when they travelled to Australia. When babies were adopted, biological parents were not recorded on birth certificates until very recently, only adoptive parents; adoption records were not kept in Victoria, Australia until 1920. There is no way of proving this theory unless a DNA matches appears.
