If you could find his marriage cert. you would find his parents names on there. Scotland's People site unfortunately only has marriages upto 1928 If your Grandfather has passed away and his death was registered in Scotland you may get his parents names from that. best wishes Christine

I'm trying to find out some information on my grandfather Alexander Johnston who was born in Gamrie, 1909 (I think) and he Married Isabella West. They had 5 children - Ann, Helen, Marion, Alexander Ralston and James. I'm tryin to find his parents names.
