Trying to find Cunningham

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Christopher Cunningham, possibly born in Burntisland, Fife, Scotland in the late 1880's/early 1900's, to David and Betsy Cunningham. Had sisters Jeannie, Christina, Margaret, twins Bessie and Isabel, and Davine. Something happened and the sisters, my great-aunts, never talked about him. Have many theories but no actual evidence. Feel great sympathy for Christopher and would love to know what became of him. Can anyone help? Have since found Christopher's birth and his marriage certificate and am on the trail of why he married in Edinburgh, an irregular marriage. Biggest surprise was finding out that his sister Margaret was present as a witness to the wedding. Happily, this happened long after WW1 so many theories I had about him going to war and not coming back were unfounded.
