Hi Seek

I'm afraid you can't view that record online via Scotland's People so to see it you' d need to order but it will have his parents and Margaret's on it. The record can be ordered via Scotland's People :

 Married 1944   THOMSON   JAMES   MURRAY   MARGARET ANNE   MORNINGSIDE   EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN    ref 685/07 0042

His age will be on the marriage cert which will give you an idea of when he was born but as it is likely to be after 1911 that record too would need to be ordered as the info isn't visible online.

Sorry :(

Was Margaret a widow when she died?

It would narrow the date of death for James

Not sure if Margaret died first. The only detail i have on James is his Marriage.
Will have to order his marriage to get a kick off with the research.

Worth bearing in mind that such records can be viewed at your local Registrar's Office (if you are in Scotland) but it's not cheap.
Skewis (Wales and Scotland), Ayers (Maidenhead, Berkshire), Hildreth (Berkshire)
