Hello back on the trail of the ever elusive g grandfather Peter Mclaren. Having logged onto scotlandspeople thinking i would have little to do but look for my g grandparents in the town of Kirkcaldy Fife i have failed to find them! They married in the town in 1910 and my g grandmother was from the town ( and all her family lived there) however on their marrage cert Peters profession was given as a commercial salesman. I have looked to all regions in scotland etc on scotlandspeople and so far spent a small fortune lol but does anyone have any ideas or clues regarding these g grandparents at this particular time ?? any help welcome cheers Gill.
