I missed your pm earlier this afternoon.

You say he married in 1941 but have you got the cert for any more information.

You mention his wife was born 1917 are you presuming he was roughly the same age.


There is this one on scotlandspeople but you can not view it online but would have to order the cert

1919 CAIRNS ALLAN WILLIAM M CASTLETON /ROXBURGH 784/00 0007 No Image ORDER


But he might not have been British


Do you mean Hawick? Which is not far from Roxburgh
