Have tried Scotlands people to find date/information on marriage of Thomas Hunter and Katherine Pitts but have had no luck.

I think they could have been from England. They had a son Alexander who married in Aberdeen in 1917.

I was hoping to find siblings for Alexander and some of his ancesters.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

Ethel
