I am looking for any info about John Montgomery. Born C1897 in Glasgow. Married to Minnie Townend in 1919. I think his father's name was William.

Have you got the marriage cert ?

If born in Scotland then you need scotlandspeople for the birth cert - not a subcription site and you would need to buy credits

Stephen, here is the link for Scotland's People http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

You just need to buy some credits and you can then obtain the details and/or replacement certificates.

Where do you think the marriage in 1919 took place as no hits on scotlandspeople for 1919 using Montgomery/Townend

No hits between 1910 to 1935
