Relatives of James Painter

Terayna Wilson (nee Painter), from Lincolnshire, is hoping to trace relatives from Edinburgh. "My father was James Painter, born in 1916 in Dunfermline. He had three sisters (Margaret, 1914, Williamina, 1919 and Grace, 1922).

Williamina married David Motherwell Anderson in Edinburgh in 1942 and had two daughters, Sena and Pearl. Grace married Alexander Johnston in 1946 in Edinburgh and as far as I recall they had a son called Graham."
