Title: Lost Peter(s) family in 1911
Post by: cristeen on Monday 25 March 19 17:11 GMT (UK)

Alexander Taylor Peters (sometimes transcribed Peter) married Catherine Morrison Whyte in Forfar 1905. They had a daughter, Jane (Jean) born 1906 in Broughty Ferry and a son Alexander Whyte born 1907 Broughty Ferry. Alexander snr was a police constable on marriage, promoted to sergeant before retiring in 1936 so he didn't change career. They lived on Church Street Broughty Ferry (Oakbank) and I believe also at 19, West King Street or Westfield Road?
I cannot find any of them in 1911 in that area. I have checked the rest of Scotland & UK in case they were on holiday or visiting folk.
Any help much appreciated
Oh, Alexander snr born 1881, Arbroath and Catherine born 1882 Forfar
