Thanks to all who passed on hints to me.

Just to let you know Dougie1 found what i had missed on Scotlands People and i now await the certificates arriving, hopefully this will take me one step nearer to to a living relative.

Good luck to all on your own searches,

Cheers,

James M. Hannah

I don't know if you have tried this:...........................................
a Catherine Hannah born 1923 left London for Melbourne Australia in 1952. I do not have a subscription on findmypast to be able to access more of this record but you could always ask other members for help.
Good luck,
Peter

I think I am on the correct path as the Marriage & Recorded Death are in the Stirling area.
You may also wish to apply for the Marriage Cert. just to confirm my suspicions.
You will not be able to access the Death & Marriage Certificates on line.
If you get hold of the Death Certificate it will give you the name of the person who registered the death & may give you a link to pursue your search.

Regards,

Dougie

Hi Dougieb 1,

This looks like a real way forward.

I will look them up in Scotlands People again, i sure missed this bit of info.
Will keep you posted on the results.

Thanks for that,

Cheers,

Yours truly

Does anyone know of a Cathrine Mitchell Laird Melville who stayed with her parents, Alexander Melville and Janet Melville (Lang) at 35 Murryfield Place, Bannockburn, Stirlingshire.
Cathrine married my brother John Hannah at the above address on 20th. August 1943. i do not know how long after the marriage he was in France (WW2) where he was killed in action on the 6th./7th. of August 1944.
Any connection to this family would be most appreciated.

Yours truly,

James M. Hannah
