Regarding ...

James DEMPERSTON ... [ K4LK-CZ9 ]

Birth, February 1632 & Christening 17 February 1632, Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland - Deceased

.

Just surmising here ...

.

That is a very OLD record pre.2012 in "New.FamilySearch" or beyond ...

.

Take a look at the "Notes"

.

.

That indicates that his record was also 'concocted' from, a PAF File; and/or, even, a GEDCOM File.

.

As such ...

.

As that "National Identification" record is also a pre.2012 in "New.FamilySearch" or beyond ...

.

.

Perhaps that 'reference' to a "National Identification" of "J7042" is ... is ALSO something to do with a PAF File or some other personal "Genealogical" database ... rather than actually a "National Identification" number.

.

And ...

.

Way 'out of left field' here ...

.

What about a "Admiralty" (ie. Naval) service number?

.

Just some thoughts ...

Thanks Anne but the person in question was born 1632 ,the link you posted is a modern day idea and I do not think anything to do with what has been added into family search by a member .

Ah, didn't catch that. Sorry! Perhaps someone in the @Scotland Genealogy Research​ group could answer this question?

Certainly there was no official identity number at that date! It's likely to be a number for the record in another database, possibly another website or the contributors software package.
