My father, David Peattie HUNTER was born in Kirkcaldy in 1910 on Links Street. He died in 1980 in Saskatchewan Canada. His father was Andrew HUNTER, born 1884 and died May 1938, Glasswork Street Kirkcaldy, married Elizabeth PEATTIE at Sinclairtown Dysart Fife on January 1, 1904. Andrew's father, Peter HUNTER was a tailor by trade.I would appreciate it if you could direct me to where I could get some information as to whether his name appears on the tradesman lists in your city. I'm desperate to find a link to my G grandfather Peter Hunter. I can add ELIZABETH PEATTIE'S parents were DAVID PEATTIE and JANET ALLAN . DAVID was a ploughman and was dec'd by 1904 . Thanks.

Hello, My name is Narelle Walker and I live in Brisbane Australia. I have some information I have gleaned from family records and searches when I was in Edinburgh many years ago. My relative Thomas Scott I believe owned the sawmill in Dysart or Kirkcaldy which burned down shortly after 1891 possibly from a spark from the Edinburgh Express. I believe that he was in charge of the building of St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh, built the Station Hotel in Kirkcaldy and Whytehouse Mansions and the Kirkcaldy new harbour. I believe that he donated a football field in Kirkcaldy in Factory Road called Scotts Football field. Apparently he used to live with his family in Factory Road, Pathhead, Dysart. Here I am confused is Dysart in Kirkcaldy? Can you tell me anything about the events I have mentioned? Have I contacted the right people? Is the field still there? I believe he died in Freuchie. I would very much appreciate any information you could give me. Narelle Walker CONTACT NARELLE AT narelle@internettv.net.au
