Hi all.
I am trying to find information on my Gran's brother and his wife.
His name is James McMulkin and he was born in 1905 in Paisley, Scotland. I was told that he was married to Zara Rudikoff, a (?Russian) refugee who was taken in by my Gran after the war. That is how James met her. My dad told me that Zara died before my Gran did in 1966. I haven't been able to find her death on ScotlandsPeople and the marriages don't go up as far as I need to check.
I remember calling James in the late 1980s, possibly early nineties when I first started my tree - he was living in England then. When I told him who I was, he told me to go away, though not as polite as I am saying it here!! My dad later said his attitude may stem from an altercation of sorts with my grandfather, his brother-in-law.
I don't know if James ever returned to Scotland, but I cannot find his death in their records up to 2006. As far as I know he didn't have a middle name.
I thought that I previously had free access to the BMDs on Ancestry so I could trawl for misspellings, but now I can only find an area where they list the names.
The computer at the Library is booked up for the next little while, so I am hoping you will be able to help me.
Many Thanks.
