Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

A very warm welcome to Rootschat.

The Dundee Courier, 15 Oct 1954, mentions an incident involving a 14 yr old living at 11 St Fillan's Terrace, St. Mary's, Dundee. It's not Marion but the surname is the same - sibling possibly?. Cannot post details (person may well be still alive)

Hi hanes thank you for the info.  Please may you tell me how to search the paper? I had a look on 'the archives' section of the courier but can't find the 'old' papers.  This could be helpful for my search.  Thanks again

The  Marion aged 4 from Dumfries mentioned in 1946 was the great great  grandniece ( I don't think I could work that one out!)of Kirkpatrick Macmillan, the "inventor" of the first bicycle.
No obvious connection with Dundee I m afraid.

Hiya I had a look on find my past and found the newspaper articles.  I can see that there is a possible relation to the Marion I'm looking for but I can't find any birth details for him.  His name is William Callendar and he stayed in the same area - I'm thinking this may be a brother or cousin?

He was born in 1940 in the St Clements area of Dundee I can't see a death for him

Thank you.  I think I need to start looking to either confirm or rule out Marion born in 1933.  Will start looking for connections in this area.

I can rule out Marion from Dumfries.

Thanks again everyone for your help so far ☺

Hi guys - I have hit a bit of a block with the search.  I thought I'd ruled out one of the Marions but not I'm not so sure...  do any of you know how to see if someone has has brother or sister please?  I can't connect either of them to William Callander of the same address who was born 1940 at st Clements and think this would help me to get to the bottom of it.  Thanks for reading this and any help you may have xx
