I wonder if someone could help me.. I am trying to get information on my maternal grandmother. My maternal grandfather was Alexander MacLeod who died November 1943 in Gourock. Is there anyway to look up an obituary to see how his wife name was listed and also his children. My parents are deceased and I have no other way to find out. My mothers name would be listed as Elizabeth Orr (married name). She had a sister, Nan and a sister, May and a few brothers. Would it be listed in an old newspaper?......any help would be appreciated., Thank you, Penni in the USA...
