Thanks, I was hoping if I could find information about his discharge from the army it might help me to locate him.

Thanks for that. I had searched SP but nothing came up. I then searched without the first name and the record appeared. Turns out that the spelling on SP is wrong, there is only one "l" in the name.

Sorry, got another question. His wife (Alice Christina) died in 1983 but I can't find any death certificate for William. Could that mean that he died outside of Scotland, for example during the second world war?

Father was Daniel Sinclair (b1877; d1931) and mother was Helen Fraser/Stanners (b1886; d 1956). He had four brothers and one sister all born in/around Queensferry, Scotland.

Thomas died at the Somme. His twin brother James died in Canada in 1958.

Appreciate the help. I think I was being too cautious with my search parameters.

I'm trying to find out what happened to a relative after he was discharged from The Royal Regiment of Artillery on 3.9.34. His name was John Findlay Sinclair b 31 May 1904 Tower House, Bridgeness. His Service Number is 1423937. Any suggestions?

Thank you - that is helpful. I was searching only for Maguire and not variations.
