Well, John Girtrig Young's mother wasn't a Girtrig girl, she was an Anderson

. None of his Grandparents were Girtrig's either, but haven't gone back to Great Grandparents yet (waiting for OPR images)

The Girtrig middle name could be family connected but, though it seems very unlikely for a firstborn, it might also be just an "honorary" one.

Hi Mary,
James lived to a good age,
but a pity his Gr-parents as still as his parents.

Thanks for the email, Jack.

So James still maintained his Grandparents were his parents, even his son-in-law believed that!

I'm really beginning to think he either really didn't know or simply chose not to tell anyone.
