How do you know he died in Rosskeen if you cannot find a death entry?

I don’t know but there is an entry which I thought was him but I’m sure it’s not

And you said you had no problem to find it ?

Thanks for you for your help


You said

John Fraser Davidson died 1981 - see www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Have you looked on SP for the other death??  I had no difficulty finding William Simpson Davidson's death

Have you purchased any of the certificates to prove one way or the other?

No but if you look

Is there anyway to see if Edward and his brother William was involved in world war 2?
