James Watt Rodger was born on the 30th June 1881 in Inverkeillor in Fife. He was a gardener. He married Mary Cochrane, from Penpont in Dumfriesshire, in Cumnock in 1905. She was the daughter of local draper William Cochrane. They had one daughter Margaret (Madge Rodger) in 1907.
They lived in the house on Ayr Road called "Georgeville" which had been John Ballantine's photographic studio. It had a wonderful garden.
His army service record survives and he was an insurance agent and, elsewhere in the documents, a traveller.
He served in both the 2/4 Black Watch, no 7980 and the 14th A & SH.
John died in 1954.
