Thank you very much Suzilad - much appreciated - its the birth record for John Joseph B Masterson I can't seem to see - says he was 31 years old when he died so should be 1909 - strange or I missed it  :-\

This may be the second marriage for his wife :-

Marion Kay Masterson - David Morris Scott  - 1949 - 685/8 529- Leith

Thanks again
Sandra
