Everywhere you look has a certain date of birth listed for McCartney.
The thing is it only takes one deceit for the misinformation to spread...
So what is his date of birth?
If you thought it was 18 June 1942 I don't blame you as everywhere online would have you believe that.
Everywhere apart from the most reliable resource that exists!
I don't know why they thought it wise to alter the date but it was a mistake and quite the clue...
In the UK, records do exist for births marriages and deaths. The government publishes for all to look at online...
What happens if you look up McCartney?
Well if you look up Paul McCartney you end up at the wrong place!
Try looking up
James P. McCartney
now try filtering the search for the 10 years +- 1940
It gives a few as it's a UK wide search.
(We could use the district filter if needed to choose Lancashire as Liverpool was part of that district back in the 40s-60s)
Surname Given Name Mother District Volume Page
Births Sep 1942
McCartney James P. Mahon Liverpool N. 8b 604
Hey we get a result for Liverpool!
The odd thing isn't the result.
Look at the month...

A different person maybe right?
Look at the mothers maiden name!
So, we just found McCartney's real, correct date of birth.
But everywhere else has June listed, how can this be?
If I was a cynic I would say someone was trying to hide something but I'm not cynical, I'm just researching.
Ok so in closing.... big deal someone got the month wrong and the misinformation spread.
But how did it change and why?
I bet reading this some of you are thinking "Well that must be Williams birth month and he wouldnt change that would he?!"
And lets find out...
So far people have said PID and was replaced by someone.
It is said that the person is William Shears Campbell.
It is also said that William was a few (up to 5) years older than McCartney.
It is also said that the person writing for the beatle magazine was called Bill(y) Shepherd
It is also said William can be shortened to a name starting with B
It also said this person just vanished from any noted info during 66 sometime.
So lets run with this crazy, cynical idea of the conspiracy theory and prove it wrong.
Off we go to the UK bmd archive and search for any William Campbell born +-10 years around 1940...
This entry was created from the following transcription:
Surname Given Name Mother District Volume Page
Births Jun 1938
Campbell William S. McGrecoy Liverpool S. 8b 256
Oh dear, you can't disprove the theory as trying to just leads to more reasonable doubt that PIA
See for yourselves...
www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?r=175958957:5385&d=bmd_1477344112
So if this is the identity of the replacement, maybe it is worth researching the family details discovered above...
