I previously had an incorrect record attached to this entry. There is a james Calderwood who died in WW1 that could be this one but isn't.

I cannot identify if this couple had children. James remarried after his wife's death in 1948 and was living near Edinburgh at that time.

I have tried to identify a death record which is difficult as his middle names have not been included and none of the deaths on Scotlands People fit with his date of birth. He died before 1997 as his wife was a widow on her death in that year. I continue to be unable to find his death record on Scotlands People which is very unusual for the time . His death record has been found. It was incorrectly indexed on Scotlands People as Veitch Laidlaw Calderwood rather than James Veitch Laidlaw Calderwood. His brother Robert A Calderwood was informant to his death. (25/9/2022)
