Talk:James Scobie

Date of birth

There is an apparent problem with James's date of birth. James had an older brother George (http://www.eurekapedia.org/George_Scobie; also Peter Fitzsimons "Eureka: The Unfinished Rebellion", William Heinemann Australia, edition of 2013, p.221). George died in 1874 aged 45, according to his tombstone (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/197997157/george-scobie), which is consistent with the birth year of 1829 in the Eurekapedia entry for George. So James was not born in 1826.

Does anyone have information about this? GammaTwo (talk) 06:06, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
