Title: What was G D L Napier's full name?
Post by: Forfarian on Tuesday 03 October 23 19:29 BST (UK)
John Reid Napier died in 1985 in St Andrews. His death was registered by his son G D L Napier, of 511 London Road, Davenham, Northwich, Cheshire.

Does anyone have easy access to a register of electors for that time and place that might at least give a full first name?

Using scotland's People,there is a 1948 marriage between John Reid Napier and Margaret Wilson Black. Using Black as the mother's maiden name,check out a 1951 birth,with very similar initials which you may be able to fit into the father's death cert.

I won't name the son as he is more than likely still alive.

John married in 1948 - could the birth you are looking for be the 1951 entry on SP?  Could the L be an R?

Can't give details in case person is still alive

SNAP!! - missed your reply Carol

Thanks you all. I have seen most of that. Hence my request for a lookup, if one can easily be obtained from the registers of electors, to confirm his first name - otherwise it will require a trip to Edinburgh to look up the originals.

To look up the Cheshire address from 1985 would need a trip to the Cheshire Records Office as there is nothing online for that period.

In that case, please disregard this request. I don't want anyone going out of their way - I will just have to contain my curiosity until I can get back to Edinburgh :(

Hi

I have just rung Cheshire RO & they have confirmed they have ER's for 1985 for Davenham.  They will do a 15 minute search for £8 & you can apply via their website  www cheshirearchives.org.uk
