Hi William

Have you looked for the family in the 1911 census? That would seem like a good place to start if he was born in 1908.

Best wishes
Lesley

Have you viewed his birth entry at SP?

There is also a marriage indexed at SP in 1934 at Dunfermline of an Arthur Beveridge. If you look at this it should show his mother's occupation if she had one so you may be able to tell if he's the right man.

I can't see a death indexed in Scotland though.

Regards,
Annette

I think this a likely family for Lily in 1901 at Dunfermline -

John Bell 49 born Inverkeithing, Fife
Anne Bell 45 born Ballingry,(as transcribed) Fife
Lily Bell 18 born Dunfermline, Dressmaker
Mary Bell 4
Robert Low 40
David Gow 10

Was Arthur's mum named Christina?

Regards,
Annette

Hi Annette, Yes,I think you are right about that being Lily's family, I found marriage cert for Arthur Beveridge and Lily Bell, Townhill 1903 showing Lily as a dressmaker age 20, Parents John /Anne ( Low ), Arthurs parents Andrew/Christina ( Grieg ) .
