Hi,
I'm trying to find information about ancestors & possible descendants/relations of Alexander Cunningham born c1870. Also of his son John Cunningham, born c1903 in Scotland, who served in the Army and married Mary Percival Gadsby, (1902-1931) who died in India (British Military Hospital, Dalhousie, India) giving birth to my Grandfather, Donald Gordon Cunningham. (1931-2007) My Grandfather (Donald) was brought up by his Aunts in England and his Father (John) continued his military service in India. I know nothing more of him.

My Grandfather Donald married Reene Allwood and both lived in Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, the rest of the family still living within Nottinghamshire.

Please could someone help me find the information I so eagerly wish to know?

Regards,

Andrew Cunningham

Register House in Edinburgh holds computerised BMDs 1855 to present plus censuses for all 50p per cipy . provided over 100 years old. You can find at the flash of a button all the info you need and whereabouts in Scorland your ancestors are from. Situated just off Princes Street is well worth a visit. Regards Yvonne Dundee
