Hi Doran54

I am going to move your post over to the West Lothian board where hopefully people will be better able to help 

Monica

Ok, now that you have moved over  ....have you checked the 1911 census for George Jnr and Snr?

Monica

Added: There is only one George Roberts*, aged 29, showing on the 1911 census in Queensferry. Could your George Jnr have been born there after the census that year? There is a birth entry showing on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for a George Roberts* in Queensferry in 1911.

thanks monica  ,i haven't got access to the scotland 1911 census

[MonicaL]

Neither has anyone else  Unlike England/Wales and Ireland, the Scottish 1911 census is only available on the pay to view site www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
