Finlayson - Nairn - Scotland - 1959-1960

[RayRob]

A newspaper article featured a person looking for her former penfriend , surnamed  Finlayson ,
who lived in Nairn in 1959/60.



I have no connection with these folk but the chance sighting of the newspaper report spiked my interest .

Any reader who likes a challenge could get the details  from The Press & Journal 22 January 2024 , in the section 'PAST TIMES'.
The reporter is Susy Macaulay .

Rootschat has a strict no living persons policy to protect peoples privacy so you need to remove D's name from your subject header & post unless you can show he is deceased

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is not showing any death in Nairn or Argyll with a birthyear around the mid - late 1940's

A copy of Dolina's death cert may provide some clues

Re parents grave.  Did you check their respective ages at death.  Elizabeth was b around 1899

[CaroleW]

D* M* S* was b 1944 Nairn

The Dolina Margaret Finlayson who died 1995 was 46 so b 1948/49 - mmn MacLean

Did you see the 1970 marriage in Arrochar?  Same christian names

Dolina Margaret MacDonald was b 1949 so you have the wrong marriage year
