John was born about July 1746 in Canongate, Midlothian Scotland.
Listed in the parish register as '"son of Alexander'", he died either at birth or very shortly after and was buried July 28, 1746 in Canongate, Midlothian.[1]
Research Notes
The only Alexander Airth of Canongate who had children previous to that time period actually died in 1737 ... available OPRs at Scotlands People don't have a record of little John's baptism.
