Personal details[edit]

I was actually looking for something else when I saw George and William Key mentioned here. George's article has more detail than William's, and I was trying to find a bit more to add. I went on Scotland's People and looked for a likely birth year to make him a younger brother of George born in 1882, but nothing came up. I have an Ancestry account that let's me dig a bit deeper quickly, and found George Brown Key's family. He did have a brother called William but he was quite a bit older, and he had younger brothers, but why would one of them call himself by his brother's name if he became a footballer. It was then I went on to the next page in the forum and found I had been wasting my time, as the contributors said George Brown Key was the wrong man and the right guy was born in 1878. A check on Scotland's People matched, and when I went further in on Ancestry there was not only the Dennistoun birthplace and a younger brother called William (born 1882), but also the 1901 census entry giving his occupation as footballer. So there is no doubt that this George Key and William Key is the correct family and the current details are incorrect. But, I am well aware that what is there now is verifiable and what I have confirmed is OR to an extent and contradicts those sources. So, just looking for some input on how to proceed (I originally put this on George's page but sticking it up here too so hopefully nobody with an interest wouldn't see it). Thanks in advance...
