David Davidson smith formerly of Peterhead Scotland
« on: Monday 10 December 18 18:00 GMT (UK) »
Looking to trace my grandfathers cousins son

David Davidson smith was born in peterhead Scotland In 1927 to parents

David Davidson smith and Margaret Stuart

Little is known by my living relatives as they are too old and unable to remember any details but someone mentioned he left his hometown for Australia

Can anyone trace this man in any records and find any info on his life I guess he’s deceased
