According to the nephew they were married before 1968 and there wasn’t a big age gap.

I’ve remembered that last time I spoke to Alexander’s nephew he said all his aunts and uncles had died. Makes the 1968 unlikely. I’ve asked if he remembers a wedding?

Thanks I’ve got all his parents details. Finding his wife’s details is really just the last piece in the jigsaw. Having always just gone directly back in my family tree I’ve been looking into all my mum’s cousins. Alexander is almost the piece of the puzzle

I’ll try to get a hold of the nephew and see if he can remember a wedding or his aunt’s death.

Hi Alexander’s mother’s maiden name is Yeaman. He had an older brother Charles, who has died.

Hi yes it was Alexander that was born in 1925.
Thanks
1968 seems a bit late. The nephew would have been 13 by then and the immersion I got was his aunt and uncle had always been around when he was growing up. Although they could have lived together before marrying.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Alexander Duncan married Rita?
« on: Thursday 27 February 25 10:15 GMT (UK) »
I’m trying to find a marriage between Alexander Duncan and Rita. His nephew told me the aunt’s name.
He was born in Lochee in 1925 and died there in 1981. Found him on Scotlands People but can’t check the exact dates as they are to recent.
I can’t find a marriage between an Alexander and a Rita, so I’m wondering if this is her middle name or a nickname. There are no obvious names it could be an abbreviation of. I found a Margaret in St Clements but I checked and it’s not her.
I tried looking at the newspapers on Findmypast for a possible wedding but no luck. I also tried to look for a death notice for 1981 but that year seems to be missing. They had no children.
Alexander’s mother’s ms is Yeaman.
TIA
TIA

Thanks folks I misread the death certificate.
Looks like a bit of a family mystery here. William was a cousin of my mum’s but I’d never heard of him till a couple of days ago. Neither my mum, uncle or their cousins I was close to ever mentioned him. I once met his sister and was led to believe she was an only child.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Look up request William S Duncan death 1950
« on: Friday 21 February 25 11:59 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Just wondering if there is anyone who can access the Dundee Courier or Telegraph for around 28/2/1950.
A distant cousin William Suttie Duncan died in DRI on 27/2/1950 aged 34. From The death certificate I’ve managed to track that he married Betsy Gillian or Gillian Betsy in 1939. I can’t however work out if they had children.
They are no births in Dundee for the appropriate time period although there a couple that come up in Angus and further afield. However I can’t view them because of the 100 yr rule.
Just thought that if there had been a notice in the paper at the time of his death it might mention children they might have had.
TIA.
