I don't see Robert Andrew's birth in 1883 in Scotland.

This is the only marriage I can see which is anything like what you suggest:

FOTHERINGHAM, ROBERT BALNEAVE
LEGG, MARY ANN
1905
254 / 5
Bervie or Inverbervie

But it's not in Dundee, and possibly too early if the children weren't born until the 1930s.

Birth of that man:

FOTHERINGHAM, ROBERT BALNEAVE
mmn SMITH
M
1883
267 / 13
St Cyrus


Births of the children you mention:

FOTHERINGHAM, ROBERT BURNS
M
1935
282 / 2 / 149
St Clement

FOTHERINGHAM, RUTH
F
1936
282 / 2 / 845
St Clement

Hi all I am trying to help my husband find more information on his great grandfather Robert Andrew Fotheringham born 1883 in Dundee, Scotland. He married Mary Legg born 1899 also in Dundee.

They had two children Robert Burns Fotheringham 25/01/1935 and Ruth born 1936 also in Dundee.

I would like to hopefully find his parents. Anything would be great because this is all the information we have.
