Use scotlandspeople to look for life events.
Charges are very reasonable.

Hi Ryan,

What have you managed to find out already ?  Have you located Alexander on the 1881/1891/1901/1911 census ?

Have you checked who was the informant on his father's death in 1907.  ???

Did a search on Scotland people
Going by age and found an incorrect result the age would have matched the birth date but it’s not the same Alexander Samuel who died in 1963 who was married to Margaret mclaren


The search goes on

Not sure I'm reading this correctly?

Can you tell us all info. on the DC you refer to as being wrong please?

A DC isn't always 100% reliable as it is dependant on the info. given by the informant.

Just checking because that was the last time Ive found him so far.  Do you know who was the informant when father James passed away ?

Remind me, did any of this family go to Canada as far as you are aware. ?
