Am looking for information about Louis Toff from either Glasgow or Edinburgh in Scotland. Louis married Rosa/Rosie Price daughter of Hannah/Annie and Susman Price. They had a daughter called Clarice. I cannot find birth, death or marriage records for any of them. Both sides of the family originally came from Russia. Can anyone help please?

Thankyou so much Andy. You have found out everything I needed to know. I made the mistake of assuming Louis was born in Scotland because Rosa was. This is definitely the family I am looking for.
Best regards
