Morning
Ive come back to my family tree in the last few weeks and
I'm rather stuck with some of my Scottish family, please can anyone help?
James Alexander Menzies 1875-11.12.1963., think his wife was Christina Bertram Gardner. His youngest son was Norman Hugh died 1997, cant find any more children or any more about Norman.
Elizabeth Rae Menzies 1887 sister of James. Cant find anything out about her either.
Thank you

The James born in Spain isn't mine. My James was associated with the motor and cycle trade in Stirling and built Stirlings first cinema with his brother Archie.
That's him in Logie churchyard .I saw pics of his grave, that's how I knew about Norman
Thank you for all your help
