I am trying to trace information about a possible relative who died in Scotland in 1979, upon searching the records I am only able to find his death certificate (which I have today ordered an extract from) however no other records pertaining to him exist in Scotland. I have reason to believe he is of Eastern European descent (surname Maryniak) and possibly arrived in the UK in the 1940s.
Can anyone advise how I might further my investigations. I am aware of shipping records between the UK and USA but am uncertain as to whether a similar record exists between European countries and the UK.
I also have reason to believe he may have come to Scotland via France if this helps.
Thanks in advance.
