Biography

Unknown family. Possible change of name from Magill but everything is assumed.

With help I found what could be Johns birth mother, however all documents point to 1892 as birth year. We know he was born around 1894- 1895. Documents found showed a 1901 census showing a John and a sibling Margret with the name Ardis, same name as the mother who was listed as a widow. The name Ardis was edited and the name Magill placed over it. Also no records can be found on Catherine Ardis, alleged mother. No birth, baptize or death under the name Ardis or Magill anyplace in the UK.
