Andrew married Christina Macleod [3645], daughter of Donald Macleod [4518] and Peggy McRitchie [4519], on 1 Jun 1933 in Canongate, Edinburgh, MLN, Scotland.1 (Christina Macleod [3645] was born about 1896 in Uig, INV 1 and died on 1 Feb 1934 in City Hospital, Edinburgh, MLN 6.)
Noted events in their marriage were:
• Number of Children: 0. Christina died of puerperal fever; I assume the child was stillborn as I have not found a birth in the registers.
