⚠ Death date correctedThe GEDCOM had his death on 13 October 1892. The register says 30 October, so the tree now shows 30 October.
ℹ His age points to about 1852An age of 40 gives a birth around 1852, not 1848 as in the tree. Ages on death entries are often a little out.
ℹ Parents and wife confirmedHis parents, Joseph Speirs and Hannah Johnston, and his wife Maggie Hendrie match the tree. The county in Ireland is still not named.
ℹ Other entries on the pageEntries 130 (William Thom) and 132 (Matilda Hutchison Eliza Chesney) are unrelated.
