Hi IAA

It is hard for us to help you in general searches on line for this period that you are in, given that due to privacy issues, records become harder to find/view on line unfortunately.

Someone may recognise these names from their own lines which would be great 

Have you tried doing some searches on Scotlands People to see what records there are to be found with these names?

Thank you for your reply.  I have tried Scotlands People but could not find a marrige or death for Andrew.  I also checked WW2 Records to see if he was a casualty but could not find him there.  Perhaps he emigrated.  I will try Ancestory.com.  Once again thanks for your help.

Hi Irene

One possibility to also consider in your searches given the dates on everything. Andrew may have gone by the surname of M(a)cDonald given the timings and events perhaps.

Hi

I think I have  found him on Ancestry emigrating to the US.  I am going to purchase credits to download the entry.  I also posted on another news group and had a reply stating that the Ancestry entry has Andrews mother and step father listed.

Many thanks for your help.

Added: He looks to have gone out with his step father Robert MacDonald, aged 36. Both of them showing as miners. They both have Broxburn as last residence. Wife/mother Elizabeth MacDonald living at 186 Mid St. Broxburn is given as next of kin. An aunt of Robert MacDonald is given as contact in the US, a Mrs Jean McFerran in NY.
