Hi Vernon Henry van Wyk (Potgieter)
This William John Chambers is my great great grandfather, he was added to Geni by my mother:
John Cairns Chambers
You have apparently merged the profile my mother created with someone that is not related to me, whose date and place of birth are July 10, 1890 in Kinning Park, Glasgow.
The William John Chambers that is my great great grandfather could not have been born in 1890 because his son, my great grandfather Robert John Chambers was born in Crossgar, Banbridge on 27th September 1889. (Info from General Register Office (Northern Ireland) Registration number U/1889/35/1006/7/293.)
It's hard for me to confidently provide "dates, etc." for my great great grandfather because I can't be sure who in the current tree I am and am not related to due to this bad merge. Hopefully the evidence of my great grandfather Robert John Chambers' birth is sufficient proof that the William John Chambers in my tree is not the one who was born in Glasgow in 1890.
Thanks,
Robert Shaw
