John Jr
This is about my Crawford's again.
Somewhere I read something that called John John Jr, which I took to mean his father was also John. I've now found a Boyd's Inhabitants of London page for John, which says his father is Andrew. Is there a mistake, either in the Jr part or father's name, or could the Jr mean someone else, for example a grandfather or uncle? Boyd's is quite detailed. I don't know where the information comes from. Boyd's Inhabitants

Boyd's Inhabitants is not always correct. Sometimes he assumed a relationship between two people without proof. But jr wasn't always used for son, sometimes it could be grandson or nephew.

Thanks Kate.
I have found a Boyd's entry for Andrew, the supposed father for John and Andrew's father is John so that could explain the John Jr. It also lists a sister Euphemia, for John Jr, who I had come across before and wondered if it was a sister of John's. John's son James also has a daughter Euphemia and as James has named most of his children after relatives I did wonder if the older Euphemia was mine. I'll keep checking Scotlands people and familysearch to see if they agree.
