Thank you for posting this information.

It has helped me to confirm what happened to George Anderson, the brother of my maternal grandfather Peter Anderson. They were born in Cellardyke, Fife, Peter in 1893 and George in 1902.

I also discovered that George married Jane Nisbet Thorburn in Dec 1928 in Glasgow.

Their daughter Mary McEwen Anderson was a good friend of my mother (Euphemia Gilchrist Anderson).

Thanks again.
