David J Glen Newark New Jersey completed with thanks
« on: Tuesday 08 January 19 12:55 GMT (UK) »
After many years of looking I finally found where David had ended up, born in Montrose 1864, I found a certifcate of registration while he was in London in 1916, I found a will for him, But not the actual date of death, about 1920, When he wrote his will he was living at 695 East 16 5street NY.
Please can I search for a burial for him.

Is Glen his surname? What is "certifcate of registration while he was in London in 1916"? Where did you find his Will?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

His father was John and mother Mary Ann Morton, I found his will on Ancestry, I did not have time to print all the pages, very Lucky find, could have helped 10 years ago before I found all his siblings.

Thank you so much for the information ,the father 's name Richard is wrong the rest is correct.
