Looking for info on George A Spence & Catherine K Spence
« on: Sunday 16 September 18 12:22 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm looking for any info on George Alexander Spence born in 1909 in Edinburgh to the parents Malcolm Kerr Spence & Caroline Margaret Spence (Nee. Stewart).

I've yet to trace a marriage for him, but do remember finding a possible death in 1938.

Could you also see what you can find on George's sister Catherine Kerr Spence born 27th April 1907 also in Edinburgh please?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

I assume it’s free to access sp then.

I’ve wandered myself if his name was George Alexander or Alexander George.

I was hoping to find a marriage for him too.

Thanks also for the info on Catherine.

No, SP is a pay-per-view site by credits although the index is free but you have to register (free).

"I'm looking for any info on George Alexander Spence born in 1909 in Edinburgh to the parents Malcolm Kerr Spence & Caroline Margaret Spence (Nee. Stewart)."

I didn't find a birth record for George Alexander Spence 1908 - 1910!

Do you have his parents marriage & how do you know of him if you're unsure of his name?

Reading your post it seemed you knew he was born George Alexander 1909 as it didn't have 'George A or Alexander G c1909' which would let people know you were unsure.

I didn't find him as Alexander George on SP index 1908 - 1910?

From the same online tree;

Birth yr as 1909 (no date)

"Death 1938 Edinburgh, Scotland"

This would give you his status i.e. single/married as well as wife's name (if married) & his parentage.
