[starryskies]

I'm looking for information on the parents of George Leslie who was born in Alyth 23/6/1831.  He married a Margaret Morris and they lived in St Andrews where he was the landlord of the Golf Inn, 1 Golf Place between 1861 and 1866.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Starryskies,

My great aunt married James Leslie, the son of George Leslie and Margaret Morris.  James took over the running of the Golf Inn for a while after George retired.  Perhaps you would like to contact me off-line via a private message.

David.
