Notes on sources
- [1] is dated June 1990, indicates James Elgie is 8 years old, and that his birthday is Apr. 1890. These three pieces of information are not self-consistant. The fact that the stated date of birth is different from the accepted date of birth of James Elgie is attributed to carelessness on the part of either the ennumerator and/or whoever provided the information to him.
