I'm a volunteer with Tayvalley Family History Society and we have been asked to try to trace descendants of William Pirie and Jane Tulloch. Their son, William  b 1897, Forres, was killed in action on 6/6/1918 in France, serving with the Seaforth Highlanders.  He had a brother, George who was in RAMC as a dispenser (of medicines) and a sister, Jessie Morrison Pirie.
In 1920 George's address was 29 North Road, Forres.  Try as I might I can't find the death of William Pirie sen or Jane Tulloch!!!
Any help will be most appreciated.

Jane Tulloch, wife of William Pirie and formerly of 29 North Road, Forres, died at 523 East 156th Street, New York, USA on 31 March 1929. This is from LIBINDX at http://libindx.moray.gov.uk/mainmenu.asp and refers to a death notice in the Elgin Courant and Courier of 3 May 1929. There doesn't seem to be a matching notice for William Pirie.

Hi Kiwiceltic,
I was just browsing and came across your post with the Steinson/Stevenson connection. I also have the same names in my line. Margaret Steinson/Stevenson is my 4 x g grandmother, it is her line that married into my  Wood line.
