Where in the world?

And have you tried looking for info yourself?

Have you any evidence that he married and fathered children?

You need to use Scotlandspeople (a pay to view site) to work forward from Peter and his wife.

Have you found their death registrations or marriages for children etc. please?

The man was born in Fife (as per the various GR trees).......so not the one on the censuses I posted.............and my guess is that he emigrated.

IF Mark returns at any time, perhaps he will give us the info for which we have asked...............and actually comment on the info posted

Are you EVER going to tell us the LOCATION?

Have you followed the advice about contacting others with the family in GR trees?
