Malcolm Munro was a railway shunter. Like Bess, he never married. Tragically he was killed in an accident at Forres Goods Yard – ‘caught between the buffers of railway wagons’ according to his death certificate.
Intriguingly, the death certificate informant was a Catherine McDonald, occupant of 2 Iowa Place, Forres. Malcolm’s usual residence was also given as 2 Iowa Place. Was she simply his landlady?
