Hi from downunder,

I am trying to find any decendants of Alexander Will Petrie born 5th October 1885 at Mains Dundee. Alexander married a Catherine Tares at St. Clements Dundee on 14.1.1923. I do know that they had a pub in Forfar called the Volunteer Arms in Arbroath Road. Alexander's parents were David Gordon Petrie and Elizabeth Young married 11th October 1882.

Any help would be appreciated

Regards Robyn, Sunny Queensland

Hullo Robyn

No definite answers for you, just one or two suggestions, if you haven't already tried them.

* Post a request on Forfar town message board

www.scottish-towns.co.uk/angus/forfar/

* Contact the Volunteer Arms
1 Arbroath Road, FORFAR, DD8 2HS

When I visited a Pub where ancestors had been managers from around 1880 into the early 1900s, I was amazed at the info gleaned about the family.

* Take a look and/or post on Genes United, where there is often up to the present day data.

Hope some of this helps.

Have a good day
Catriona
