Something not right here.  Are you mixing up 2 different families?

The children listed in your opening post are presumably the children of George & Ann Cordiner so are they the family who went to Canada?

Got details of cert That is his father Alexander Duncan Robertson Cordiner b 1 May 1898 he married Annie Tait on 17 Dec 1918 at 64 Roanheads, Peterhead he went to Canada any info on him would be of help

If Alexander D R born 1899 went to Canada with his parents - he must have returned to Scotland to marry Annie Tait in 1918 and must have still been in Scotland in 1925 when his son was born.

re : Alexander Duncan Robertson Cordiner,  My grandfathers sister was Ann Noble Cow (known as Annex) b 11 July 1874  married George Cordiner b 19 Oct 1870 on 7 Sept 1893, I think they and family emigrated circa 1927 to Canada although I was always led to believe Nellie stayed in PHD married to Colvin, i think Alexander may have been commonly known as Duncan ????

another reason for this message, I am trying to get in touch with Dave Cordiner, the usual email he had "dactruth ???"  seems to be dead............I think his grandfather was David Cow Cordiner ?
