1893 Mar 1. Born Mukden, Manchuria, China (on his RAF declaration). His Edinburgh University records says he came back from China at 5 months old
1901 census in Govan, Lanarkshire. His mother is head of household, and a "Missionary's wife". His father was an ordained missionary of U.P. Church to Manchuria, North China, 1882 and helped establish a station at Tiehling, a walled city forty miles north of Shenyang [Moukden], in 1885, under the authority of Chiao one of the indigenous evangelists. Chiao was manhandled and the chapel damaged by opponents and Mr Ross and Mr Webster both received rough treatment in attempting to establish the station. The family was probably based in Shenyang at this time. The Rev. James Webster was appointed Joint Foreign Mission Secretary in 1910.
