James Murray PITTENDRIGH

[CDJAM]

We are looking for relatives by the name of Pittendrigh who originated from Fife in Scotland.
James Murray Pittendrigh was married to Hilda Frances Kennedy in 1907, they had two children, we'd like to know of their whereabouts and what became of them. J.Murray was my mother's grandfather, (of his second marriage to Agnes Lyddon) We know that he travelled widely and we've uncovered some interesting facts...
Thanks,
Claire
