Mary Melville Marshall Farmer born (looks like) April 16th 1901 in Hill o Beath. daughter of David Farmer and Elizabeth Farmer, maiden name is unclear but may be Hutton. David and Elizabeth married in Burntisland March 14th 1890.

I have a possible match for David Balsillie Farmer married to Elizabeth Hutton on 21 Dec 1900 at St Serfs Episcopal Church, Burntisland.
David Farmer, 18, dock labourer; Resides: 18 Somerville St, Burntisland; Father: Thomas Farmer, oil mill worker; Mother: Agnes Mercer;
& Elizabeth Hutton, 21, millworker; Resides: 31 Somerville St, Burntisland; Mother: Mary Hutton subsequently married to Frank Trainer
If you are interested , I have several generations going back to my ancestors Robert Farmer and Jean Riddel.
