Re: Alex Davidson
Fantastic effort, very much appreciated, but definitely not my father, he, his five brothers and sister were all born in Burghead, the only thing that may have changed would be when the moved from 34 King Street to number 36.
As I said I really appreciate your efforts.

Re: Alex Davidson
Hello,
Again thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated, I was in contact with Donald MacDonald, the researcher for the MNA, and for the £ 60.00 paid, he checked at the National Archive and after extensive looking, found no record and has now given up searching, as he put it for the moment.
I now find the whole event quite intriguing, probably down the Blue Star, but ??????.

Re: Alex Davidson
Sorry should have said, my father was the oldest son, no idea who this might be.
Thanks again.
