Hi, everyone,
I am currently researching the Carr surname in Fife, however, I have hit a brick wall regarding Alexander Carr's parents. According to Alexander's marriage in 1894 to Catherine McLean, he is living in Links, Buckhaven and is a coal miner. It also states that his father is Alexander Carr, a joiner, who is deceased and his mother is Jane Carr m.s. Milne. I can find no marriage record for Alexander & Jane or death records for them either. Similarly, I cannot find a birth record for Alexander Carr, the son. I have searched census records too and, until 1911, Alexander Carr does not appear and gives his birthplace as Locher, Forfarshire. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
