George Robertson Percy

[dumfries-victor]

This George Robertson Percy, who died in 1957 is my great uncle.  His brother, James, was adopted out and became know as James Jones, in the United States.  It is exciting to know that some of his decendents might live in your neighborhood.  I thank you for all that you are doing, and am always interested in any further family data.

Hi folks.
Just spotted your post and thought I chip in. Andrew Percy and Mary Crichton are my GGGG grandparents. I've been doing my tree on and off for the past 4 years or so and this is the first time I've come across anyone related to this line. I've come to a dead end on this line with Andrew as I can find no records of BDM for him. I did however find his grave in Mouswald and I could give you a picture if you like. Any help with either Andrew or Mary would be very helpful. I am descended from their son John who you have rightly found in stirling in 1901 where he lived with his son, daughter and granddaughter. He died there in December 1901.
Best Wishes

Kev

I believe the reason there is some confusion in this family line is that there are three Andrew Pierces.    F. Andrew Pierce was born about 1800, and was married to Mary Creighton/Crichton.  Their sons were George, John, and Douglas.  We all appear to come from this line.  F. Andrew Pierce's father was George Pierce (b. abt 1778), whose father was Andrew Pierce (b. abt. 1735).  This Andrew's wife was Jane Irving ( b. 1736).  The grave markers spoken of were for this Jane Irving and her father-in-law, Andrew Pierce (b. 1702).  This means we have a third Andrew Pierce, who was the father of one Andrew, and the  great grandfather of F. Andrew.  This is mostly a theory based on the birth dates, but it explains a lot of our confusion.

If you are still looking for George Robertson Percy, I know of him and have some photographs with his family.  He does look like your uncles photo (his brother).  He remarried in 1913 to my grandfathers aunt Mary McGowan.  They did live at Aldermanhill.  He had three sons who were raised by my aunt, George, Walter and Tom.  Two brothers had a very successful electronics store in Dumfries (Percy Bros.).  The McGowans have kept in touch with the Percy's.  I know that George Jr.'s daughter-in-law still lives in Kippford.  I met Walter Percy and his second wife (Alice) in Maxwelltown in 1978 when I was visiting from Canada.

Hi, if you still looking for George Robertson Percy, I am his great-granddaughter. His son George Percy was my grandfather. GRP was indeed married twice, his first wife dying in childbirth, I understand, after having their third son, Walter Percy. I am in touch with some of Walter's grandchildren. I knew that someone in the family was adopted out to the USA but didn't know who exactly, so great to see these posts! The other George R Percy (born 1948) will be Walter Percy's son, born to his 2nd wife. I think he lives in the north of Scotland (Wick?). The George Percy living at Westlands, Pleasance Ave was my grandfather. If you would like to pm me I could possibly fill in some gaps?
