ArgyllGran Report 31 Jul 2019 16:19

There's this birth of a child with mms McArthur in the right timeframe, which I'll post just in case - but unless the family moved house, it's probably not relevant:

ALEXANDER
THOMAS MCARTHUR
M
1919
651/ 832
Airdrie or New Monkland


Death:

ALEXANDER
THOMAS MCARTHUR
84
mms MCARTHUR <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
2003
564/ 642
Airdrie

EDIT:
In fact, he's probably the child of this couple:

Marriage:

ALEXANDER
JOHN
MCARTHUR
MARTHA
1897
651/ 55
Airdrie or New Monkland

Alexander Report 31 Jul 2019 17:11

Thanks for the quick response.My mother was born in Maryhill,so the latter cert would be her.I think my mother had siblings from her dad,s first marriage but she would,nt talk about her family .I got James the son,s name from his father,s death cert,so I assumed he came from the first marriage The information on the website from Sandra,an old member was very relevant and it appeared she had a lot more. I am looking for any info on the family as there will possibly be a member who has any relevant info on the Alexander family.
