another fordyce
« on: Thursday 13 March 14 15:24 GMT (UK) »
on the death certificate of George Fordyce on 26.3.1963 at west calder he is the WIDOWER of Marjory Allan Leishman.
Marjory's death certificate on 21.5.1940 at west calder has 1st. married to John Denholm & 2nd. to George Fordyce.
I found a marriage on 31.12.1926 at Portobello between Marjory & John Denholm.
after much searching I can't find the death of John Denholm or a marriage between George Fordyce & Marjory.
I wonder if they actually married.
any help/advice would be appreciated.
margaret

Re: marriage - I found one match using George Fordyce spouse Marg** wildcards allowed - rather than Marjory (my sister in law is Margery)  It was between 1936-1940 so may be worth a look

An exact match for his age but not in Scotland - in Kent

Deaths December qtr 1934
John Denholm aged 36    Bromley    2a   758

What was his occupation on the 1926 marriage cert - was he a soldier or a seaman etc

What were his parents names and mothers maiden name

Hi

Don't use Leischman.  I only used the criteria below.  I can't make any guarantees that it's the right one as Marg* could also be Margaret but it's just a possibility
