I am trying to find anyone who would know of Daniel Duffy a railway relayer, or any of his family who married Catherine Mitchell Laird Melville on the 03/06/1955 in Stirling Reg. Office. They lived at 17 Weir St. Stirling at this time.
Cathrine was my Brother John Hannah's widow, they were married on the 20/08/1943 at 35 Murrayfield Place, Bannockburn, he was killed in action in France on 6th./7th. Aug. 1944.
Sadly Cathrine died on the 18th. Feb. 1968, and i was hopeing that there was a child or children from this marraige.
Any help will be most appreciated.

As you have the marriage cert, you must know how old Daniel was, and the names of his parents

Have you yet followed the advice on your previous thread, about using this site's search trees facility?

Hi Reggie,

Yes i have tried the search tree's facility with no luck.

Have since discovered on Scotlands People that Daniel died in 1984.

I have also found two Daniel Duffy's born in Stirling, one in 1947 a the other in 1954 but it is getting a bit out of hand at the cost of finding out you are wrong, so this will be on hold for the present time.

Cheers,

Hi Tracy,

You say you know Cathrine Duffy (Gow) can you give me some more details as to her age, when she got married to Mr. Gow any information that may take me closer to traceing them.
If you wish i can let you know my E-Mail address so you can contact me directly.

This is the first real link i have had, thanks for your help.

Cheers,

James M. Hannah

Why not contact Tracy by clicking on her name

That way this persons personal details are not on display for the world to see

Maybe Tracy can contact her and pass on your email address, that way if she wants to make contact she will

Researching:
Nothing much
