Henry Foggon, Haddington.

[lugworm]

Hi.

My wife's father had a half brother who lived in Haddington called Henry Foggon.
My father in law was born in 1924, and we know that Henry was a bit older.

Are there still Foggons living in Haddington from this family ? We would love to find out, so if anybody can help it would be most appreciated.

We live in Alnwick, by the way.

Hi

Henry was b 1914 as per www.freebmd.org.uk/

He married in 1934 to Elizabeth A Gibson but I can't see any children born to them

Henry died in 1990 as per Scotlands People

There is one Foggon birth in 1939 but not in East Lothian/Haddington but I don't know whether it's a child of Henry & Elizabeth

As far as I'm aware, he never left Haddington.
He does have a sister, Ruth, who I've just been told lives somewhere in our area.

I've just looked that up, and it seems they were married in Alnwick!

Yes - that's why I only looked for childrens births in Northumberland at first.  No Foggon/Gibson births at all in any English/Welsh county

When Ev replied above - I suddenly realised you had posted on a Scottish board hence my last reply.

Birth registrations can only be downloaded up to 1913 so you would have to buy a copy of that 1939 birth cert to see if it was Henry's child

There are only 3 Foggon births on SP between 1934 and 1950 - none in Haddington or East Lothian

It may be that they lived somewhere else in Scotland initially then moved to Haddington
