George Robertson Percy

[dumfries-victor]

I am trying to find information on my great uncles, George Robertson Percy, and Walter Currie Percy.  Their father (George Percy) and Stepmother (Agnes Mathieson), George, and Walter are all listed in the 1901 Census as living at 65 Glasgow Street, Maxwell Town.  Family stories indicate that they spent their adult lives around Dumfries. Any information about them and their families would be helpful.  My grandfather, James Percy, was adopted out in 1899; when George lost his first wife.

Thank you.  This helps.  I believe the George  Robertson that was 78 in 1957 was probably my great uncle, and the George Robertson Percy born in 1948 might have been his grandson.  I continue to look for deaths, marraiges, and children of  George and Walter.

I believe you to be right.  I have a George Percy (b. 1858) married to Mary Ann Moffatt, who had three sons (George Robertson Percy, Walter Currie Percy, and James Moffat Percy).  James was born at was born at 109 High Street, Dumfries, in 1887.  This George had a father George (b. 1824), married to Elizabeth Currie.

This is new to me, but it could be that George Robertson Percy was married twice.  I believe that he named his son George Robertson Percy, and his grandson was also George Robertson Percy.  The military records could be very helpful.  Do you know how to get them?
